Erika Gregory is a recognized catalyst for innovation.

As a scenario planner, a long-time entrepreneur, and a classically-trained actor, Erika’s work draws in equal parts from a deep understanding of the creative process and the dynamics of collaboration, particularly in ill-defined or ambiguous circumstances.
