BACKGROUND

Enterprise risk, from every seat at the table.

Eric spent more than 15 years inside a Fortune 50 technology company, including a decade leading teams across internal audit, enterprise risk, and finance. In those seats he owned controllership, enterprise risk, and business performance across multi-billion dollar segments, taking an established ERM program and making it sharper by standardizing processes, eliminating inefficiency, and introducing AI to fundamentally change how risk was identified and prioritized.

Before stepping into an enterprise leadership role, Eric delivered over 150 consulting engagements spanning technology, manufacturing, and financial services, leading enterprise risk assessments, internal audit transformations, and complex advisory work. He's operated as the consultant in the room, the executive presenting to the board, and the operator accountable for the outcome.

That range is rare, and it's the reason the work is different. Most firms can diagnose risk. Very few can redesign how an organization manages it, implement the change, and leave a team that's stronger than when they arrived. That's the firm Eric built.

PHILOSOPHY

Four operating principles.

Build programs, not reports

The goal isn't a deliverable. It's a risk management capability your organization can sustain and improve year over year.

Work closest to the business

The people who understand risks best are the operators who live with them. We give them the structure, tools, and frameworks to manage risk effectively.

Speed doesn't require shortcuts

Decision-quality output in weeks, by focusing exclusively on material risks, not by reducing rigor.

Build capability, not dependency

Every engagement ends with your team owning the program, models, and processes. No permanent retainers.
