Executive Ally's Founder

Erica J Ford
Executive Ally's Founder
Across my career, I have navigated and continue to navigate complex leadership challenges while learning from and mentoring other women working alongside me. These experiences—balancing my own growing opportunities and helping others succeed—sparked my passion to create Executive Ally.

I firmly believe that apprenticeship and the ability to practice are essential to professional development. While challenging, growth should stretch you in the spirit of your full potential and optimism, uplifting you with a sense of all the possibilities you can achieve now and in the future. This approach has been instrumental in my own journey and has proven invaluable to the women I’ve supported.

Too often, I’ve seen women leave training programs either energized to apply what they’ve learned but lacking the on-the-job opportunities to do so, or facing an existential crisis because they are striving for a two-dimensional ideal instead of embracing their own authentic leadership style. That belief drives my work at Executive Ally, where my mission is to provide women at every stage of their careers with realistic, hands-on learning opportunities. My goal is to empower professional women to build the skills, confidence, and networks needed to thrive in leadership roles while staying true to themselves. Through Executive Ally, I aim to redefine professional growth and create meaningful opportunities for women to lead authentically and make a lasting impact.
