Bio
Bapu Kota
Eric is one of the best global leaders I have ever worked with. He has a rare mix of deep technical understanding on a variety of subjects and has great leadership abilities. I have seen Eric always focus on the core objectives (real, data driven goals), champion a metrics driven approach with commitment to continuous optimisation of implementations, tools & processes. Eric is very hands on and has the ability to build great engineering teams, globally. During my tenure of working closely with him, I have seen Eric streamline Tech departments and organizations for improved efficiency, quality and overall productivity. It was a pleasure and a great learning experience of working under Eric's leadership and guidance, for close to 2.5 years.

Eric is one of the best business partners I worked with AOL. He is an extremely talented technology leader that continued to improve the products/channels at AOL while having to reduce staffing levels year after year. He worked well with all the different functions at AOL and always made time to ensure every critical project was completed in a timely manner. He is very personable which really helped during difficult times at AOL. Eric is missed at AOL and I look forward to working with him in the future.
