Call me to talk about

Creating Foundations for 8-Figures

I help you develop the infrastructure for running an 8-figure business with simplicity.

Scale Your Business With Simplicity & Systems

I help founders set up habits and systems in their business to free up their time and get their entire team aligned, more effective, more focused, and more proactive instead of reactive.

Company Culture & Employee Engagement

I help founders develop, upgrade, and deepen the culture of their organizations so they attract and retain A players and so their team is highly engaged. This is one of the most powerful and critical things to get right when scaling your organization.

Executive Coaching & Mentorship

Former COO of a 200-person organization, I do workshops on how to scale a company and overcome the common challenges companies face, and I help executives one-on-one as well tackle the challenges they are facing. It's not just coaching, but also mentoring, as I'll give you direct answers to how I would approach the situations you're facing. Common challenges I can help strongly with: clarity, alignment, accountability, results, cohesiveness, no more fighting fires, organizational structure, strategy, OKRs, SOPs, silos. After our calls you'll have clarity for sure on how to approach the problem you're facing or your path ahead. I also help new executives step fully into their new role with clarity on what it means to be an executive. I do workshops on all of the above and have been regularly rated among the best speakers or sessions. This is my bread and butter. :)

Leadership Development

As ex-COO of a 200-person company, executive coach, and team-builder for 15+ years, I know what it takes to be a great leader, manager, and coach — and how to get the most out of leading your team through simple and effective systems and approaches.

What would be the best job title for this role?

Figuring out questions like this is literally what I do — organizational design. I'm a former COO who implemented OKRs in a 200-person organization and helped shape high-level roles like this.

You could hire a COO for this, and it would be safer to start by hiring a "Head of Operations" (not C-level) and promote from there. What's needed from a COO is more than what you list here. And what you list here, yes, could be one role.

It sounds like there may be more questions around this, including how to shape this role and how to know if someone is a good fit for it, and what to look for.

If you want to go deeper, I imagine a 10 minute call where we go into some more detail would give you a lot of clarity, if this is something you're still considering.

Best of luck. :)

1 hour & I solved some key holes in our ops with Eric’s help. He has an incredible ability to ask the right questions that focus your mind on looking at issues from a different & far more enlightening perspective!

Had a really incredible call with Eric - extremely knowledgable when it comes to operations, company growth and scale. Took away insights that will be incredibly powerful for my own professional growth and the future growth of our company. Cannot recommend enough!

#gasp! Eric is one of those rare individuals who can effortlessly fuse creative insight and intuition with razor-edge intellect. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, today I booked a 30 minute session with Eric which seamlessly went on to 45 minutes and then 60 minutes (of course!) Special thanks to you, Eric for putting the spotlight on my beliefs, creative ideology and so much more. Look forward to continuing the dialog!

It was really amazing talking with Eric. He managed to unblock many issues I had for a couple of weeks now, and he is very interesting when it comes to exchanging about the key roles in a company. He has a great vision on all that and knows how to make it understandable, and more especially: inspiring. Thanks Eric! Looking forward to our next call.

Another incredible call with Eric. I'm going through a phase of growth as CEO of a newly funded start-up. After transitioning from an agency I found myself really lost and confused about what my role and responsibilities were and what the relationship with my COO should be. Eric helped walk me through understanding that and then helped hand-hold me through the process of creating organizational clarity and OKRs for my company. Mind blown 🤯 in how in such a short time - I've gained so much.
