About Eryka

Eryka Charles is the founder and Principal Consultant of HEKIMA Consulting, a boutique marketing technology and strategy firm built on a simple belief: that businesses deserve more than a vendor. They deserve a true strategic partner.

With over 21 years of experience at the intersection of marketing, technology, and enterprise transformation, Eryka has spent her career helping organizations turn complex challenges into scalable, measurable results. She brings executive-level strategic thinking together with deep hands-on technical expertise, giving clients the rare combination of someone who can lead the boardroom conversation and then roll up her sleeves to get it done.

Before founding HEKIMA, Eryka served as Senior Managing Director and Global Practice Lead for Salesforce Marketing Cloud Implementations at Monks, where she scaled the delivery practice from a regional U.S. team into a worldwide organization.

Her career spans senior leadership roles across consulting, technology, and business development, including building technical support teams and driving growth in complex, relationship-driven environments. That background gives her a rare vantage point: she understands how organizational leaders think, how teams evaluate and adopt technology, and how to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. That cross-functional fluency allows HEKIMA to deliver strategies that get implemented, adopted, and used across healthcare, finance, education, and beyond.

"HEKIMA means wisdom in Swahili. That's the standard I hold every engagement to — bringing the knowledge, the experience, and the intentionality that helps businesses not just grow, but grow right."

We worked with Eryka on a very difficult Salesforce Marketing Cloud journey that included multiple exits and pathways. Her attention to detail and testing helped push the project across the finish line. We are still using the same journey and are starting to see results in lead conversions.

I worked together with Eryka for a few years while she was working for ClickDimensions. During that time I experienced a very skilled supporter who was willing to walk the extra mile to ensure that I as a partner was happy. Eryka has a high level of product skills and is a very friendly person who communicates with partners and customers very politely.
