Erin Hatzikostas is a former corporate CEO turned internationally recognized authenticity thought leader. She’s known for shaking up the business world with a message that’s both real and radically refreshing...
Erin’s journey began in the boardroom, but her mission grew far beyond corporate walls. After years of navigating leadership the traditional way, she realized that authenticity—not perfection—is the key to lasting influence. This shift led her to become a professional pot-stirrer, challenging the outdated norms of workplace culture.
As the founder and CEO of b Authentic inc, she now empowers professionals and companies to embrace a more human approach to success. In doing so, she’s helping redefine what leadership looks like in today’s world.
Erin’s message has reached hundreds of thousands through dynamic keynote talks, viral content, and popular media appearances. Recently, she was described as “an up-and-coming Mel Robbins,” a nod to her bold, energetic style.
In addition, Erin is the author of two books:
Beyond writing, Erin co-hosts the podcast b Cause Work Doesn’t Have to Suck, where she and her guests share unfiltered stories and workplace wisdom.
Her thought leadership has been featured on ABC, CBS, and in publications such as Business Insider, Fast Company, and Well+Good. Furthermore, her 2021 TEDx Talk ranked among the Top 20 most-viewed TEDx Talks worldwide that year—proof of how powerfully her message resonates.
To support her mission, Erin’s company conducted a national study on the effects of authenticity in the workplace. As a result, the research confirmed what her work has shown all along: authentic leadership drives performance, trust, and engagement.
Erin doesn’t just talk about being real—she lives it. Her unique combination of corporate experience, research-backed insights, and contagious energy makes her a sought-after coach, consultant, and speaker.
By helping others ditch outdated expectations and embrace who they truly are, Erin proves that authenticity is not just a nice-to-have—it’s a powerful strategy for real growth and leadership.
