Kristine Boedigheimer
Erica Eggers
Erica’s motivation is rooted in helping people. Passionate about connecting brilliant talent to fulfilling work, she wants to shape the careers of Brillect’s talented consultants and enable them to
create the work and home lives they prefer. All while helping her clients attain objectives to grow their businesses and enhance their teams by connecting them to the right professionals.
Erica has a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Minnesota State University Moorhead and is a CPA. She spent nearly 15 years in the accounting and finance industry, starting with a career in audit at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Moving on from public accounting, she worked in external and internal financial reporting at Target Corporation and Lawson Software, as well as general ledger accounting at Best Buy. An additional six years of providing consulting services leads us to her current role as co-founder of Brillect, an endeavor she is thrilled to be undertaking.
Outside of work, Erica and her husband have three young kids that bring so much joy (and crazy) to their lives! They enjoy boating at the lake, volunteering at church and watching their kids in sports.
Kelly Weight
Kelly loves getting to know people, hearing what brings them joy, learning what motivates them and helping them succeed – at work and at home.

From helping her clients solve complex problems to working with consultants to find the focus they need to propel their careers while finding balance at home, Kelly is committed to helping others be their best in every chapter of their careers.
A hockey mom to 3 boys, a wife, dog lover, and a runner, Kelly has a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She started her career in public accounting at
Arthur Andersen. She spent many years in compliance, project management and audit roles before making the leap to providing consulting and staffing services. After her most recent position at Microsoft, she co-founded Brillect to create a place where you can do more of what you love – at work and at home.
Kristine Boedigheimer
While her daughters were young, Kristine struggled with the desire to “do it all”. She wanted a great career AND to be a great mom and wife. She believed there was a better way to work but failed to find it in traditional workplaces. She co-founded Brillect in part to be that connection between finance and accounting leaders and high-performing professionals who desire more flexibility than traditional employment provides.
Kristine earned her BSB in Accounting and MBA (Finance emphasis) from the Carlson School of Management, currently serves on the Alumni Board of the Carlson School of Management, and is also a CPA (inactive). She began her career in audit at Arthur Andersen and Deloitte and spent 18 years in Accounting, FP&A, and Treasury at Target Corporation.
