In the age of digital communications, interactions between people are often quick and impersonal. While technology has allowed business to happen faster and with significant efficiencies, it has also diminished the occasions for meaningful face-to-face meetings.

Erica Acker

Partner & Member Engagement

Erica Acker is an agile, action-oriented business leader with more than 25 years experience in business development, sales and logistics.

She began her career in business development in the start-up world with pioneering online companies such as Food.com, Save.com and Coupons.com. 

Erica then joined marketing services giant Valassis Communications and dedicated the next decade to building their Direct Marketing division’s West Coast presence, earning multiple awards during her tenure. 

Ready to lead her own business, Erica became a Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt franchisee in 2012 with two locations in Los Angeles. As President & Owner, she oversaw construction of a new store, plus managed all aspects of the company – including marketing, vendor relations, fundraisers and hiring. She sold the stores at a profit five years later and was ready to lead a larger organization.

After a multistage, two-year vetting process, Erica was approved to become an Amazon Delivery Service Partner and founded Mercury Transport & Logistics in 2020. Less than 1% of applicants are accepted into the program. She has since grown the Mercury team to 100+ employees who have successfully delivered over 10 million Amazon packages since launch.

Erica is a native Angeleno and earned a History degree from UCLA, where she was a member of the water ski team (her greatest claim to fame). Erica currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.

Kevin was later named the 96th Harvard captain during his senior year and received the Ralph “Cooney” Weiland Award for dedication and commitment to Harvard Hockey.

Growing up in Canada, Kevin was always around the game of hockey. His father, Bob Sneddon, was standout goaltender who played professionally for many years.

Upon his retirement from coaching in 2020, Kevin developed a consulting business, KAS Performance Consulting, LLC striving to assist NCAA coaches, players, and businesses. One of Kevin’s biggest clients, Elev802, has seen incredible growth in just 3 years. Arguably one of the top hockey skills training companies in the USA, Elev802 has 4 facilities open while 3 additional facilities are under construction. His role as business consultant and project manager for Elev802 has also created a massive social media presence growing from 3,000 followers in 2019 to over 150,000 followers on Instagram today. Kevin has helped negotiate several partnership contracts for Elev802 including: Bauer, Hockeyshot, Dunkin Donuts, Green Biscuit, BioSteel, and Pure Hockey.
