Eric Parrish

My name is Eric Parrish and my passion is the formation and leadership of teams to stimulate new ideas and convert innovative concepts into tangible, marketable products. I help businesses be agile and to learn, adapt and evolve products and business models to fit the market. I am on a mission to help people do good things in the world and to the planet through building ingenious products, and to contribute to projects that do the same.

After more than 10 years as a corporate warrior, I became intrigued by the lean startup framework (popularized by Eric Ries and Steve Blank) through my experiences in five Startup Weekends, which are 54-hour competitive events where people come together to create products and launch businesses. Here, I met fellow passionate people and worked on new projects using build, test and learn feedback loops.

I believe the diversity of people and experience fuels innovation. I enjoy opportunities to network beyond one’s boundaries in order to collaborate with people across multiple industries and domains. Please email and connect with me on LinkedIn.
