Erie Meyer

As the first-ever technology advisor at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Erie Meyer is a trailblazer for the tech industry, and an icon for women in tech. Erie, with co-founder Aminatou Sow, created Tech Ladymafia as a space for women in tech to build their own networks. The membership-based group is increasing the visibility of women working in technology. Prior to Erie’s work on consumer protection issues in tech, she co-founded U.S. Digital Service, an elite technology unit housed within the Executive Office of the President that provides consultation services to federal agencies on information technology. Erie has been shattering glass ceilings and paving the way for women in tech since she began her career in the federal government as a founding member of the Tech + Innovation team at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during the Obama Administration.
