Kya has helped scale the business across the globe, opening offices across the world.

Whether it be an undie run down New York’s Westside Highway, running comms for company exits and crises, or leveraging social media trends to generate press results, Erin’s competitive edge is a cocktail of her never-rest-on-your-laurels mentality and silly sense of humor.
