Eric joined the faculty at RBS following a 32-year career in industry and consulting. Prior to academia, he worked in industry as a manufacturing engineer with General Electric Company and then as a marketing manager with Digital Equipment’s Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Product Development group. For over 20 years he was one of the principal supply chain and enterprise resource planning system strategists and a delivery partner for IBM/PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting, working to deliver new processes, systems and organizations for enterprise-wide transformation projects.

He believes that all supply chain graduates need to possess a broad set of tools for developing real-world solutions to industry problems and communicating them succinctly.
