PIVOTStrategic Advisors Let's Talk
Our team

Two partners. Two lenses on what's in the way.

Erica brings strategy, leadership and people. Sean brings operations, systems and technology. Both have sat in the seat.

Erica Mirich

Erica Mirich

Founder and Managing Partner · Strategy and Leadership

Erica helps leaders and organizations figure out what comes next. Over more than 25 years she has worked with schools, museums, universities, national networks and community organizations, and she has noticed that the hardest part usually comes right before the work begins, when you know something has to change and can't yet see the way through.

Her path runs through strategic communications, fundraising and organizational strategy. She has supported Microsoft's Give Back Challenge, the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, agInnovation, the Nevada Museum of Natural History, Hope Means Nevada, the League to Save Lake Tahoe and Truckee Meadows Tomorrow, among others.

At PIVOT she leads assessments and strategy, coaches executives through big change, supports boards, and steps in as a fractional CEO or CMO when an organization needs experienced leadership in the seat. Off the clock, she's with her husband, their boys and a dog named Bear.

Sean Martin

Sean Martin

Partner · Operations and Technology

Sean is an engineer's engineer who long ago stopped writing code full time and started doing something harder: helping organizations figure out what they actually need from their technology, and then building it so it lasts.

He has spent 30 years leading technology and operations teams across very different industries, from network security to education benefits to social impact. The systems change from place to place, but the frustration looks the same: a growing organization's tools quietly stop serving the mission and start working against it.

At PIVOT he leads Digital Foundations, our practice for systems, data and AI readiness, and steps in as a fractional COO or CTO when an organization needs senior operational and technical leadership. Outside of work he's a PSIA-certified ski instructor and an avid mountain biker.
