Erica’s roots in technology took hold before her legal career, when she worked as a software developer and program manager at leading technology companies. At Clarabridge, she served as the critical link between legal teams and software developers, translating legal requirements into software specifications for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's registration system required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Erica was one of the first ten employees at Strategy.com, a subsidiary of MicroStrategy, where she developed user interfaces, including some of the first mobile device interfaces, and managed cross-functional teams to develop alert-based systems.

Erica earned her Juris Doctor from George Mason University and a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This unique combination of scientific training, legal expertise, and technical acumen enables her to navigate the complex intersection of healthcare policy, regulatory compliance, and technology innovation that defines modern value-based care.
