“Erin has an amazing way with words - she uses them to motivate her customers AND employees. Before launching into any initiative, she's the one who wants to get to the heart of the matter, of the definition, of the true intention of the program. Whereas I was first to get to the #s, Erin was first to get to the words, the mission, the 'why' - and it was her words that we would go back to in times of question or debate. I also very much appreciated how much Erin is willing to change - she is the most 'outside of the box' thinker I know and someone who really walks the talk! She pushes hard and has high expectations - I loved working closely with Erin and found her personally very inspiring.”

Connector, brand builder, and champion of innovators, Erin Newkirk sold her social correspondence app, Red Stamp, to Taylor Corp. in 2013. She’s an advisory board member to three local companies and one of the most sought-after coffee dates in town. Newkirk spent most of 2016 and 2017 at Bright Health, helping to build the foundation for a simplified health care plan. In March, she joined St. Paul-based Local Crate, which is working to marry convenience with healthy eating and a sustainable supply chain. In each city Local Crate expands to, meal kits are prepared locally, connecting growers, makers, and chefs with distributors. “The meal kit is the what,” Newkirk says, “not the why or the how.” -
