Eric is an exceptional leader in healthcare technology. He has a no-fluff approach to driving teams towards efficiency and cultivating respect from both employees and clients through example and consistently. In the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of a start-up it is do-or-die for the key leaders to work together effectively. After forming a team, Eric and I made a few early adjustments and together were able to deliver high speed quality output. I look forward to the time our career paths cross again and have gained a life-long friendship along the way.
