Erin Stoll

Building relationships that turn into results is the thread through every role I've had. For 15+ years in sales and fundraising, I managed and grew accounts (including Fortune 500 clients), stewarded corporate partners like Mutual of Omaha and Union Pacific, and consistently met or exceeded annual revenue goals, raising $1M+ for Special Olympics Nebraska. For the past 8+ years, I've brought that into the women's fashion world as the founder and face of Style Thief Fashion: partnering with retailers and brands, working New York wholesale markets and showrooms alongside boutique buyers, tracking trends season to season, and representing my brand in stores, on stages and on camera across the country.

I'm organized, I follow through, and I know how to coach people toward their best results. I'm also a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach.
