How Eric is building a better working world

I believe in a fairer, more just and sustainable economy. I’ve dedicated my career to social innovation, seeing the potential in people and organizations and connecting them with the financial and human capital they need to build a brighter future for all through social innovation.

I live in the moment while thinking deeply about the future and our collective role in shaping it. I care about people and the places we call home, and understand the important influence our human experiences can have on who we might become. I value truth and reconciliation and seek to learn from the past to do better together.
