Bio
Warren Logan
I worked closely with Eric for more than a year when I was focusing on the rapidly evolving sector of emerging mobility (think Uber, bike share, scooters, etc.). He helped to prepare me for numerous media interviews and podcasts. Thanks to his thought partnership, I advanced our planning work with clear, sharp messaging.

Eric is a skilled manager, communications pro, public engagement practitioner - and an all around fantastic colleague. I had the pleasure of working with Eric for 4+ years at the San Francisco County Transportation Authority. As Communications Director, Eric leveraged the unique skills of each member of our team as he built out the agency’s communications and public engagement program. Eric excels as a manager – he knows how to keep the trains running on time while empowering his staff to own and execute projects. Eric is a gifted problem solver and creates a collaborative team environment where new ideas are welcome. And crucially, he’s willing to jump into the trenches with you when something needs to get done. Eric has a deep commitment to equity, which shone through in the execution of our agency’s public engagement strategy, which was often recognized for its progressive approach. Meanwhile, Eric’s sense of humor and positive attitude always kept our team’s spirits high.
