Erica Perry Briody — Co-Founder

Scaling companies rarely fail because of product or strategy. They fail because they hire the wrong leaders. I help founders, CEOs, and executive teams build leadership teams that actually scale companies. Over the past two decades I’ve led global talent acquisition transformations and leadership ramp-ups for Fortune 500 and high-growth companies including GE, Novartis, IQVIA (Quintiles), OYO, and REEF. My work has helped organizations hire smarter, build high-performing teams, and deliver ambitious growth goals across multiple markets. Too many companies treat hiring like a process. The best companies treat it as a strategic advantage. Today I work with venture-backed startups and founder-led companies as a: • Fractional Head of Talent • Board & Leadership Advisor • Talent Strategy Partner I specialize in helping organizations navigate: • Rapid hiring and leadership scale-ups • Executive hiring and leadership team build-outs • Talent strategies aligned with business growth • Culture alignment during periods of hyper-growth I also partner with Culture Index to deliver C-Hire™, a data-backed interview training workshop I co-created that helps hiring managers dramatically improve how they evaluate and select talent. In addition to advising companies, I’m a global speaker on leadership, careers, and talent strategy, sharing insights from decades of building leadership teams inside some of the world’s most complex organizations. I’m also the founder of Be BAD Club, a leadership and career development community built on one belief: You don’t need permission to be Bold. Ambitious. Determined. Through Be BAD Club I translate decades of leadership and talent insight into practical tools that help women build confidence, boundaries, and career leverage in their careers. MBA - Henley Business School (London) Six Sigma Certified Global leadership experience across five continents I’m currently open to Board and Advisory roles with venture-backed startups and founder-led companies. If you’re building a company and want to hire leaders who actually move the business forward, let’s connect. 📩 hello@bebadclub.com
