Erin Holland Collins

Erin Holland-Collins has over twenty years of experience in asset management. She has built extensive networks in intermediary and institutional distribution, marketing and execution services. These networks, combined with an in-depth understanding of each business, create the perfect platform to help top tier asset management clients acquire exceptional talent.

Erin spent the first half of her career on the intermediary side of the business in a variety of different roles from traditional marketing to national accounts. Erin then began working with advisors in the design and presentation of financial education solutions for plan sponsors to complement their defined contribution offering. That role led her into practice management consulting, where she coached advisors on business strategy and helped them execute tactical growth plans. She was then given the opportunity to lead a team tasked with building a search agency within the firm to staff the offices of the national advisor force.

In 2010, Erin was recruited by Russell Investments. She was tasked with building an in-house “search agency” designed to eliminate the use of external search firms. She leveraged excellent working relationships with hiring managers and a unique understanding of each business’s nuances to consistently deliver high caliber candidates. During her 5 years at Russell, not a single one of her searches was filled externally. She left Russell in April 2015 to start her own boutique recruitment firm, Human Capital Acquisition.

Erin lives in Seattle with her husband Austin. After volunteering in orphanages overseas they adopted 3 children from the Philippines, Denmar, J.R. and Roquena. They have 2 English cream golden retrievers, Aspen and Stella.”
