Eric Baumgartner
Chicago
I grew up in what was a small farming community years ago in the suburbs of Chicago, traveled off to college and eventually returned to The Windy City. In a past life I worked at places like Noodles & Co. and Whole Foods all the way to big finance companies like BMO and Raymond James.
Today I work with some of the most talented individuals and teams in payments from companies like Uber, Airbnb, Hotel Tonight, GitHub, Trunk Club, OpenTable and Huckberry. eCommerce and mobile payments are the future and I am helping shape them everyday.
When I step away from payments my life revolves around two individuals, Jessica and Stanley (only one is human), as well as making sure I stay in shape to keep up with them through events like GoRuck and CrossFit.
