Erica Stone

Erica Stone is the Show Manager for Natural Products Expo East. Her duties as a show manager have run the gamut, ranging from launching the Organic Summit in 2007, booking the band Gomez (for which she has a healthy obsession) to play Expo East in 2007, managing the monumental move of Natural Products Expo East from Baltimore to Boston in 2008, and currently overseeing the team producing Natural MarketPlace, the official show of the Natural Products Association and Natural Products Expo East.

With a degree in Business (which always comes in handy), from the University of Colorado, Erica returned to Boulder and started at New Hope Natural Media in 2005, after a four-year stint in Europe as an International/Financial Business Analyst. She loves food, traveling and skiing and her favorite things about the natural and organic products industry are the fair-trade chocolate, organic, bio-dynamically farmed wine, lavender-scented personal care products and the people.
