Erinn Rowe ('19 MBA), CEO, Harvest Hope Food Bank

Erinn’s leadership at HHFB was forged long before she stepped into the CEO role. She joined the Board of Directors in 2015, quickly emerging as a trusted and strategic voice. When the organization faced its most destabilizing moment (the untimely passing of the sitting CEO during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic) Erinn was serving as Board Chair. In this time of grief and unprecedented food insecurity, she didn’t hesitate. She stepped forward with steadiness and vision, guiding the organization through crisis operations, emergency meal distribution, and a full executive transition.

Under her leadership as Board Chair and then as CEO, HHFB scaled its disaster response, ensured continuity of services across all three branches, and stood as a beacon of reliability for hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians experiencing hunger during the pandemic’s darkest days. Since becoming Harvest Hope’s CEO in 2021, Erinn has guided the organization through extraordinary growth and transformation, implemented LEAN systems to reduce waste, and engaged third-party experts to cultivate a workplace culture grounded in excellence, equity, and purpose. Erinn is a connector, mentor, and visionary force in South Carolina’s nonprofit landscape.

Through her leadership, annual food distribution has increased by more than 50 percent (from under 20 million to over 30 million pounds), providing more than 25 million meals to neighbors across 20 counties. Programs like the Backpack Child Feeding initiative now serve more than 47,000 weekend meal kits per year to children who would otherwise go hungry. She has expanded Mobile Markets to reach mobility-limited and rural communities, increasing access to fresh food for those most at risk of hunger. She’s also spearheaded transformative partnerships, like the Daily Harvest Kitchen at Transitions Homeless Center, which now serves more than 600 hot meals a day with dignity. As a former banking executive turned nonprofit leader, Erinn brings cross-sector fluency, strategic acumen, and a moral clarity rooted in lived values. She mentors emerging leaders, elevates women in leadership, and shapes the future of socially responsible business as a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council at USC’s Darla Moore School of Business.

During her decade at Bank of America in roles spanning treasury management, business development, and financial center leadership, she consistently exceeded performance targets, stewarded international client portfolios valued up to $2 billion, and implemented innovative digital commerce and API-driven solutions to streamline complex financial systems.

Her earlier entrepreneurial work as the owner of a Young Chef’s Academy franchise underscored her lifelong passion for food, health, and hands-on education. In fact, while running Young Chefs, Erinn created a custom cookbook for St. Lawrence Place as a fundraising tool and led healthy cooking classes for Title I schools and local nonprofits throughout the Midlands, demonstrating her belief that food is not only fuel but empowerment.

With an MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business and a Lean-Six Sigma Green Belt Certification from USC, Erinn brings data-driven rigor to every initiative. Her work bridges business, philanthropy, and public service in a way that is truly rare, deeply needed in today’s social sector, and has already changed the entire landscape of the hunger crisis across South Carolina.
