Eric is a visionary in the field of forecasting and S&OP. Having worked closely with Eric, it is clear why he is one of the most respected professionals in demand planning - his ability to align end-to-end processes and implement collaboration is outstanding. Eric is known as an innovator and has helped establish and improve demand planning organizations, delivering significant improvements in forecast accuracy and inventory management. He has taken companies not only to S&OP maturity, but has placed them at the forefront of forecasting innovation. It is this insight that we leverage at IBF, using his knowledge and expertise to continuously improve our body of knowledge in the field. Eric is a thought leader and regular contributor to the IBF’s Journal of Business Forecasting. His articles represent the vanguard of the industry, and provide valuable insights into overcoming the challenges demand planning organizations face. This is one of the reasons he is IBF’s 2016 EXCELLENCE IN BUSINESS FORECASTING & PLANNING award winner. A talented public speaker, Eric shares and teaches his insight at numerous IBF events, including our IBF Academy. He believes strongly in knowledge exchange, and gives back to the community by sharing best practices, innovation and practical guidance to help both nascent and mature demand planning organizations. Eric epitomizes our Learn > Share > Advance motto and consistently receives glowing feedback from our members for his insight and passion. I strongly recommend Eric for any organization looking to advance S&OP processes or drive innovation in business planning.

I have worked with Eric as a Demand Analyst. Though I had experience working with him only for a short stint of 13 months,I can definitely tell that Eric has been a pioneer to the Demand Planning team in Berry Global and, constantly strives towards continuous improvement and best practice implementation. His subjective dexterity in demand planning and vast industrial expertise has fostered our team to achieve, in my opinion, ground breaking results in improving forecast accuracy and aligning the team towards the commercial side. To mention, a few of his success stories specific to Berry Global are Forecast Model creation, Re-structuring of Demand Pyramid and Re-Modeling KPI analysis. Eric's ability to delegate responsibilities by discerning the core strengths of his workforce has bolstered the performance of the team. As a leader, he ensures that his team is equipped and updated with the latest advances and holds constant training sessions to support it. Now that I am functioning as a Demand Planner, I would like to take the derived skills forward as Eric has played a pivotal role in grooming me as a professional through his expert guidance. As a subordinate to him, I strongly recommend him for opportunities that he is considering and I wish him the best for his future endeavors.

Eric is an inspiring leader, who identifies the strengths of his team members very quickly. He is passionate about Demand Planning and S&OP and he constantly encourages everyone on the team to work on developing a career plan.

He encourages cross-functional collaboration and was instrumental in helping our team reach out to other functional groups to improve the Demand Planning process at Berry.
