Here's What People Are Saying

"Eric is one of the best, and most empathetic, leaders I have ever had the pleasure to work for across my nearly 25-year career. I worked for Eric both at IBM and then at EY (where he is the main reason I decided to follow and join him) in his Analytics groups. He has been a great mentor to me and countless others as we progress in our careers. Eric excels at striking the right balance between the needs of his customers, the business, and his people. He also processes (and embraces) extreme ambiguity, and makes effective decisions quickly to the benefit of the organization. His teams love working for him, and through his humanity and great sense of humor, Eric builds strong connections with those around him. I fully endorse Eric as one of the best business and people leaders I have ever known - and any organization would be lucky to have him."

"I've known Eric since 2003, working directly with him for 10 years. He is the consummate leader who thinks and operates both strategically and tactically. Eric shines in the way he leads people, as evidenced by the strong leaders who have emerged from the organizations he continues to lead. A significant amount of my career successes can be attributed to the lessons and mentoring I received working with and for Eric. I cannot recommend him enough."

"Eric is an excellent coach, keenly focused on your personal goals and passions. He always asks very insightful questions to crystallize your thinking. He reminds you of what you have said is important to you, keeping you focused and true to what motivates you. He offers great perspective and advice. I found him a great guide in my professional journey."
