About Eric
I bridge boardroom vision with technical execution, translating strategy into capability through clear communication and honest accountability.
21 years military leadership • PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering • Startup product leadership
What Sets Me Apart
Most technical leaders come from one of two paths: deep technical background with limited communication skills, or strong people skills with surface-level technical understanding. I bring both.
This rare combination means I can translate between C-suite strategy and engineering execution. Executives understand what's achievable; teams understand why their work matters. The result: faster decisions, fewer misaligned features, and technical excellence that serves business goals.
My approach is shaped by diverse experience: military operations taught me communication under pressure, research taught me rigorous problem-solving, and startup leadership taught me to build what's needed under real constraints.
