About

A technologist by training and a founder by habit. Eric started in computer technology and artificial intelligence, then built Admedius in advertising technology, Covenance in financial technology and Avelorn in investment management. A creative studio, a reputation agency, a healthcare platform and a freight company followed. Each one borrows from the others.
