When I was faced with integrating 3,000 employees after our merger, my first call was to Erika and Proteus, to help me and my senior management team create a vibrant, impactful and implementable vision for the future. We have realized our vision and three different cultures have become one. I’m thankful for all Erika and her colleagues have done for us—I know we would not have gotten so far, so fast without them.
David Kline, President Spectrum Reach, EVP Charter
In my years of working with Erika and Proteus they have been a great partner. Their approach includes a robust set of tools and frameworks, a hands-on approach, and a commitment to developing a deep understanding of the key stakeholders around me – all of which have contributed to helping our teams and me be the best we can be. They consistently get what we’re trying to do and they support us to make our dreams a reality.
Detavio Samuels, CEO Revolt TV & Media
Calling Erika was one of the first things I did after becoming the CEO of National Geographic channels. She worked with me and my team to craft a clear vision for a new future for our networks, and a plan for achieving it—while at the same time helping me transition into the CEO role. Working with Proteus is illuminating and strengthening; they always see and support the best in me.
Courteney Monroe, President National Geographic Content
