Bio
Frankie Costoya
In my time working with Erik, I found him to be a strong leader. Erik enabled me to work on projects outside of the normal scope of my role. Instead of shutting down my curiosity he pushed me to learn more about our product and its technical inner workings. This type of leadership allowed me to grow and become a more valuable asset to my team members. He was always a strong leader to lean on when things were tough. I highly recommend Erik for leadership roles within a support organization.

Few people have the opportunity to report to a manager who is also a coach and mentor—but I did when I worked for Erik. In 2012, I started my technology career and had the privilege of working with Erik to deliver time-sensitive resolutions to software issues. He always gladly entertained my "why" questions and always showed me new technologies by asking me to shadow at his desk. As his career advanced and he became busier he always blocked out time to assist the new employees with technical questions. He also taught many soft skills through example. I was particularly impressed by Erik's ability to handle even the toughest clients—effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among customer service professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him, and I worked very hard to emulate his style. It was no surprise when Erik transition to a manager role. Erik’s ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I have seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team; it only made sense that this skill was desired elsewhere in the company. He continued to talk to us plainly about our goals and aligning those with the company’s larger goals and always provided keen feedback during one on ones. Oh, and he made sure our staff meetings were never without food and coffee. Talk about motivating a team! Any employee would be lucky to have Erik as a manager.
