Erin Himel
Marketing & Communications
As Vice President of Experiential Marketing at General Catalyst, I oversee the company’s event strategy and focus on creating experiences that bring entrepreneurs, founders, business leaders, and policymakers together to connect, collaborate, and shape the future. At GC, events go beyond gatherings—they are catalysts for innovation, connection, and meaningful dialogue.
Before joining General Catalyst, I spent over a decade at Meta leading the Global Experiences team. I was fortunate to work alongside a talented group of creatives and marketers, delivering the company’s highest-profile events and product launches across its brand portfolio. From partnering with artists and global brands to working with small businesses, developers, and creators, I had the opportunity to bring stories to life for audiences around the world.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I’m now based in San Francisco. I have a passion for all things design—especially interior design—and love that my professional world intersects with my personal interests. Outside of work, you’ll find me discovering great food and exploring the outdoors.
