Erika Trautman

Erika Trautman is a serial entrepreneur, and seasoned EOS Implementer who has spent her career leading organizations through moments of high-stakes change. She first encountered EOS as a startup CEO navigating a challenging cash position, a risky strategic pivot, and the pressures of venture-backed growth. EOS became the steady, practical framework that kept her team aligned, focused, and ultimately positioned the company for a successful exit.

Following that acquisition, Erika joined Google, where she led major components of the Google Workspace suite, including Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and later Atlassian, where she became one of the executive sponsors of Atlassian’s acquisition of Loom, overseeing one of the most intricate product and business integrations of her career. Responsible for delivering over a billion dollars in value from the acquisition, she orchestrated the integration using EOS principles—running L10s, establishing clear accountability, setting rocks with single owners, and driving execution through a rigorous scorecard. EOS remained her operating backbone in every phase of the process.

Before working in software, Erika built and ran a successful video production company, giving her firsthand experience with the challenges and grit required in creative, service-based, and operations-heavy businesses. She understands the realities of teams who don’t sit in front of laptops all day—businesses where people work with their hands, serve customers face-to-face, manage inventory, or run family-owned operations.

Today, as an EOS Implementer, Erika brings deep expertise not only in product strategy and organizational design but also in helping companies of all types—venture-backed or bootstrapped, high-growth or multi-generational—navigate inflection points. She works with businesses preparing to raise capital or planning an exit, teams integrating newly acquired companies, women-led organizations, and husband-and-wife leadership teams looking to strengthen communication and clarity.

Erika is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs of every kind—whether you’re running a restaurant group, scaling a service business, managing a family farm, or leading an innovative tech company. Her mission is always the same: to help great people build healthier, more effective organizations and achieve extraordinary results while living their best lives.
