Erin Roach

Overview

At present, she is the Vice President for Investor Relations and Marketing at Farmland LP. Erin is passionate about using business as a lever for social and environmental change and has spent her entire career helping values-driven businesses grow. As a member of the start-up team for Bright Horizons Family Solutions and for the 10 years that followed, she saw first-hand how business can create positive impact beyond profit and how to take a great idea to fruition. Her experiences at Work/Family Directions and Presidio Graduate School provided insight into how corporations and government agencies incorporate sustainability into core, strategic operations. As a co-founder of GoCityKids, a parent-focused website sold to Viacom in 2005, she harnessed the web as a means to build community and help urban parents have a better quality of life with their children. At the pioneering non-profit Social Venture Network (SVN), she helped entrepreneurs and the public-at-large realize the positive potential of business. Erin met Craig Wichner and Jason Bradford through SVN and was impressed by Farmland LP’s exceptional level of direct, positive impact on people and the environment.
