Christy Erbeck’s Summary

I am a results-oriented strategic change agent with a successful 20-year track record of creating, implementing and executing strategies. My broad business-to-business experience in mid- to large manufacturing, technology and consulting companies provides a holistic perspective to customer retention and attraction, problem solving, and team building.

Throughout my career, I have been the one to ‘get things done’, both on my own and through others. I have a great ability to analyze data and problems, and apply innovative techniques that get results. I am extremely skilled at understanding where a business is today, and then mapping a path to the next level of performance.

I have a passion for people, and creating synergy across visible and invisible borders to achieve optimal results for both the individual and the company. I am poised and competent with a demonstrated ability to easily transcend cultural differences. I am focused, driven and work best directing multiple projects at once.
