Eric Heinz

Like Jay-Z, Eric is not a businessman, he's a business, man. That means he spends his day figuring out how to turn great technologies into great businesses. He's honed this skillset by studying wide swaths of business history, focusing on successful tech firms in particular. When not working on strategy, he likes to pick up stocks on the cheap.

Before "going corporate" he would spend all day writing code and doing math, picking up a Bachelors and Masters in Electrical Engineering at Cooper Union (all in just a very busy three years) and working as a Research Fellow at Cornell. He still "comes out of retirement" when the spirit, or the pleas of a client, move him: writing Python or iOS programs late into the night. In his spare time he likes to run Ironman Triathlons, which is more relaxing than it sounds.
