Summary
Erica Gunn is a product design leader and lecturer with 11 years of experience translating complex scientific and data-rich problems into intuitive, AI- and data-driven B2B SaaS products for clinical research and life sciences. She has led design teams and incubator initiatives that turned greenfield concepts into a $25M annual-revenue product suite while pioneering platform-wide analytics integrations that saved millions annually.
