Erin Noel

Principal, Head of Talent

As a former brand strategist and qualitative researcher turned Talent leader, Erin is continually investigating human behavior, cultural context and influences, business health, and organizational experiences through the lens of what ingredients best support individuals and teams at work. In 2015, she received a certification in Positive Psychology, the scientific study of optimal wellbeing, in order to better understand the body and brain under thriving conditions. Today as Head of Talent at Proto, Erin helps define and support our Proto workplace experience, employer brand, and how we can all contribute to and foster an environment that supports equity, growth, curiosity, belonging, and meaning. 

Erin is most creatively inspired when she’s moving, learning, and connecting with people, so she spends her own time breaking bread with friends, traveling, engaging in fitness activities for mental health and mobility, volunteering with Project Inkblot, an organization committed to designing for racial equity, and absorbing culture through books, live music, cultural institutions/artifacts, and performance art.
