MANDY STEWART

CEO & OWNER

Mandy was raised in Panama and the United States, and has enjoyed living and working in a wide range of communities. She spent the first part of her career developing outdoor and environmental education programs, providing corporate facilitation services to notable metro Detroit-based companies, and operating large camp and conference center facilities. She has specialized in aerial adventure for the past two decades.

Mandy has served on the Executive Board of Directors for ACCT International, is a past President of Michigan Alliance for Environmental & Outdoor Education, and was founding Chair of The Alliance Collaborative. She was the recipient of the inaugural ACCT Community Award in 2016, and currently leads the ACCT Women’s Affinity Group. She is actively engaged in standards development for the ASTM International F24 Committee on Amusement Rides and Devices, with a focus on the F2959 Task Group on Aerial Adventure Courses. She joined the ERi team in 2016, accepted the position of CEO and Co-Owner of ERi in 2018, and has since led the teams who have delivered ERi’s largest and most complex projects.

Mandy specializes in the development of systems and processes that help teams achieve identified goals, and has a talent for navigating permitting and other regulatory processes. Amongst other qualifications held over the years, she was part of the first cohort of professionals approved as ACCT Operation Reviewers, a role that requires a broad and deep range of experience across multiple disciplines including inspection, risk management, training/testing, and general operations and management.

When she’s not keeping her team happy or writing international standards for fun, Mandy enjoys photography, cooking, being a part-time pineapple farmer, and traveling the world in search of adventure and great things to eat.
