Erica has spent most of her career as a founder and executive operator prior to joining Redpoint in early 2021. Most recently, she served as COO of GitHub, where she was brought in to mature and scale the company following the Microsoft acquisition. She was fortunate to be a part of the GitHub Copilot launch as well as many others and drove global business expansion among other aspects of the business. Prior to GitHub, she co-founded Bitnami, which went through Y Combinator in 2013 and was acquired by VMware in 2019, as well as BitRock prior to that. She has also served on the board of the Linux Foundation, which shepherds over 200 core open source projects (including Linux and Kubernetes), since 2016. At Redpoint, Erica focuses on bringing her nearly 20 years of open source, infrastructure and developer tools experience to bear to support founders from the earliest days of building.
