I build teams, scale products, and craft cultures for teams to thrive in.

“Eric is a true leader that uses his intelligence and expertise to influence change. I have learned that some of the best leaders thrive in asking the right questions at the right time. This humble approach to leadership and excellence in product work has proven to be a difference as our culture shifts to be more product-centric. Eric balances strategic and detailed work that makes him so effective in his craft. It is his dedication to understanding the client and the digital and data solutions that must be understood to create the compelling experience that teams aspire to. I have learned so much from Eric and feel fortunate to work closely with him.”

“It's hard to know where to start because I can say many great things about Eric. I've met a handful of people who are incredible examples of polymaths but Eric is certainly among them. I've watched him traverse everything from data engineering leadership to product management. He does it all and he does it well. He's a ferocious learner and he has an incredible work ethic. Additionally, he's very smart and he's constantly reinventing his own behaviors as part of a continual process to work well with others...which he does remarkably well. Eric has the traits that I think define a fantastic product mind. He's got product taste, in that he has the insights and intuition to understand customer needs for a product in a given area. He has the ability to prioritize aggressively and he is constantly asking about the business value of a proposed product feature. He's got the ability to execute which is a big part of product management - convincing and cajoling teams to get the product to launch, and then to maintain the product. Finally, he brings strategic sensibilities and he's constantly watching how an evolving industry landscape might impact prior thinking. Without any hesitation, I'd work with Eric anywhere.”

“I have worked with and for Eric for the last 5 years. He is the most talented, driven, and passionate leader I have ever worked with. He is committed to helping his team learn and grow and cares deeply about their individual and collective success. He has a very diverse knowledge of engineering, data, and product, making him a tremendous resource on any team. I would work for him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to any company seeking an outstanding product leader.”

“ As an engineering team lead, it was very easy to see that Eric cares deeply about the quality and consistency of the work of the organization around him. But in a way that was empowering and easy to get excited about as engineering teams in his org. He is unafraid of challenging ideas for the sake of a better outcome.

Eric is not exaggerating when he says he is an engineer at heart. It is rare to have a senior product leader roll up their sleeve and help you draw out the technical architecture of payment flows and work through UX flows that present potential engineering problems.

If you are an engineering leader working alongside Eric, consider yourself lucky. He is a passionate leader and a champion of the right path, not just the easy ones.”

“I had the privilege to report to Eric during my time at Hagerty. Eric is an exceptional leader who always strives to get the best out of his employees. He pushed me to grow in my career and be the best version of myself for my co-workers, employees, and friends. Eric has found a great balance to provide high-level vision on a multitude of efforts and allows managers to execute to achieve that vision. Without Eric's mentorship, I would not be at the stage of my career that I am today, and for that, I am grateful! If our paths are to cross in the future, I would be ecstatic.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Eric at Hagerty in a number of roles. This gave me the unique perspective of working within Eric’s org and as a peer.

I’ll never forget my first one-on-one interaction with Eric. He invited me to a skip-level meeting and, with a notebook in hand, asked me questions about my role, daily challenges, and areas I thought we could improve. I spilled my guts because, up to that point, I had never been given the opportunity or access to share my viewpoints in a safe and welcoming environment.

From there, Eric helped us turn around our Infrastructure organization. He implemented career progression frameworks, he implemented structure to prioritize and plan our work, and, most importantly, he continued to listen to feedback and adjust. Eric was always generous with his time, provided articulate feedback, and encouraged me. Without Eric, I wouldn’t be the leader I am today.

The one thing you should take away from my experience working with Eric. He cares. He cares deeply about doing the right thing, he cares deeply about supporting and lifting his teammates, and he cares deeply about helping others. His passion, enthusiasm, and empathy for others is what make Eric special.

I would jump at the opportunity to work with Eric again in the future, and any organization that does bring Eric in will instantly upgrade their team.”

“Eric is a brilliant, gifted, and hard-working technology leader. I was blessed to have Eric on my CIO leadership team. He is a driven, self-learning professional that enabled our company to migrate to a cloud-based, product-oriented company. Eric also built a robust cybersecurity team from the ground up. Eric is a respected leader, mentor, and technologist. A company would be very fortunate to have Eric as part of its leadership team.“

“Eric and I had the challenge and pleasure of transforming our member programs teams into efficient product teams. During this process, Eric was both a product culture subject matter expert and a trusted partner. He had a very clear vision for success and yet was still able to understand the unique culture and environment we operated in, bringing necessary flexibility to a structural and personnel challenge. He was the first person I turned to when problems arose and consistently helped me understand the technical nuance of product development. My growth as a product leader is owed in large part to Eric's support and education.”

“I had the pleasure of having Eric as a colleague during his time serving as the Vice President of Product Management at Hagerty. I can honestly say I have never worked with a more dedicated and driven product leader. The value of Eric’s contributions and that of his team cannot be overstated. Eric is both an exceptional leader and an invaluable individual contributor. He is thoughtful, analytical, and unyielding in his pursuit to deliver results. I enjoyed my time working with Eric very much and recommend him without hesitation. Any organization would be lucky to have him as part of their leadership team.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eric for the last six years and I can say without a doubt that he is a uniquely talented individual and leader who brings a lot of passion and energy to everything that he does. Eric is one of those rare people who never takes the easy road and is not afraid to tackle even the biggest challenges head on. I’d heartily recommend Eric to any organization looking for a transformational leader who is ready to challenge the status quo and who is always looking for ways to improve his products, his teams and himself.”

“A fantastic leader and innovator with a knack for encouraging and inspiring those around him. Eric has a gift for thinking outside the box and developing innovative ideas. In addition, he is great at listening to other people's ideas and helping carry them out. He always gives credit where credit is due and loves to elevate those around him. He would be a fantastic asset anywhere he goes, and any organization would be lucky and privileged to have him.”

“I had the privilege of working with Eric as a peer for several years. He is an outstanding product leader that genuinely cares about the client’s perspective and experience. He is willing to dig into the details and spend time with those closest to the clients to identify areas of opportunity. He is extremely collaborative and makes informed decisions by balancing different perspectives. His learning agility is off the charts, and his range is incredible. His curiosity serves him well, and he thinks deeper than most when contemplating an issue. His willingness to give his teams a high level of autonomy to test innovative approaches is balanced with good discipline in analyzing the results closely to ensure the correct conclusions are made. His team members grew under his leadership, and they had a deep respect for him and his work. He is as trustworthy as they come and can always be counted on to speak the truth, even in difficult situations. Anyone working with Eric is fortunate and will be better from knowing him.”

“Eric is committed to customer-centric product design and lets empathy lead him in addressing user needs. A proactive communicator, Eric has a talent for bringing cross-functional leaders together to truly collaborate. Eric demonstrates candor and compassion with his teams and cares deeply about their success - always seeking feedback to pursue positive change. Dedicated to creating a thriving product culture, Eric believes that doing the right thing is always more important than being right, and he lives and coaches that through his words and actions. Eric’s technical expertise, passion for creating great products, and strategic experience maturing a rapid growth company leaves him uniquely positioned to mentor those around him and bring innovative solutions to market.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Eric during my first experience working on a product team. Eric immediately welcomed me into the product space. He guided me as I learned how to engage effectively in a product team. Eric helped give me the confidence to grow into my role while continuing to challenge me. Eric is a visionary leader. He made sure as a product team, we kept our customers at the center of our focus. He made certain that we spent the time getting to know our customers; who they were, what they wanted, and how we could delight them. Through Eric's leadership, I was able to learn and grow exponentially. Any individual who has the opportunity to work alongside him is better for it.”

“I have had the opportunity to hire and then work with Eric over the past 6 years, and it has been a pleasure. Eric is bright, passionate, and dedicated, and working with him to hire for his teams over the years has been challenging and exciting. We have worked together to find some very talented individuals and create an interview process that allows us to really understand both the technical and cultural fit of each candidate. Eric is a leader that has supported and made the hiring process a priority, and working with him has taught me so much. Eric puts his heart into all that he does.

Any organization that is lucky enough to hire Eric, will see the passion and care that Eric puts into his work every day.”

“Eric and I had the opportunity to work together on overhauling the data platform at Hagerty. He was immensely influential in driving transformational work across the org and showed the highest level of dedication. I would highly recommend Eric for his expertise in product management and leadership skills.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Eric as a colleague at Hagerty, while we each owned our digital product space. Eric has a very strong technical background and is a product culture purist. In those organizations where culture change is needed - he will be your driving force, and if it's already established - he will still make it better! In my experience with him, he is driven and motivated by creating valuable customer experiences and delivering results for the organization. I learned a ton from Eric when we worked together. He is super smart and just dedicated to whatever it is he picks up, with incredible work ethic.”

“Eric gets it done. He takes on very complex tasks and ensures that it becomes a reality to produce repeatable and consistent results. I really enjoyed working with him.”
