Bio
Richard Robinson
As our CRM Manager at K12 Inc, Eric was a dedicated, committed and highly skilled individual. I truly felt fortunate to have Eric as my manager because he respected every member of our team. He was highly recognized and respected by our business owners and executive team. Eric gave direction only when needed and open to input from everyone he worked with. The one thing I truly admired in Eric's management style was his hands on approach and knowledge of every platform under our team's umbrella. Any company fortunate enough to have Eric under their employ will truly benefit in all he has to offer.
Anthony DiGangi
Difficulties often arise when you mix the "Salesperson" with the "Tech-guy". Often they are limited to communicating in their department-speak. That makes capturing requirements or other systems work a nightmare. With Eric he was able to cross over the jargain line and gather the information needed to provided the necessary fix, upgrade or installation. He learned enough to keep us from harming ourselves although at times it turned up the heat under his seat. Few "techies" can provide the level of service and expertise that Eric could and is an extremely valuable asset to any organization.
