Apart of being an open and enthousiastic person, I would recommend Eric because of his integrity and good business acumen.

Hein Visser

Eric was a keystone in in the process of rebuilding Stone Fashion in 2002-2003; with his drive for action, his organizational talent and his fearless and talented approach to complicated issues he paid a major contribution to the new fundamentals of this company. I'm eager to team up with him one day again, to do even better!
