Testimonials (3)
Clay Nesler, VP Global Energy & Sustainability | Johnson Controls
Eric was our keynote speaker at an energy efficiency event that we hold every year in Washington, DC. He did a great job sharing best practices in corporate sustainability to our audience of public and private-sector executives. His presentation style includes engaging visuals (without lots of text) and effective story-telling including real-world examples of the value of sustainability innovation. He has also synthesized his research into a logical and simple framework that the audience can take away to improve the sustainability of their organizations, whether public or private.
Bulbul Gupta, Head, Market Based Approaches Track | Clinton Global Initiative
I asked Eric to help educate and inspire our audience on the latest thinking on collaborative and sustainable development by leading corporations, and was very impressed with his creative presentation and ability to make those case studies personable and easy to relate to. His reflections on interviews with CEOs really helps get inside their minds and how they base their decisions on incorporating more social and environmental value into their core business. I had several people coming up to me all day to praise his talk and wish to connect with him again.
Tom Davis, Event Organizer | Conference Board
Eric recently discussed "The Future of Value" with a group of senior global executives for Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) and Sustainability...the timely and provocative discussions between the Corporate Roundtable members and Eric was eye opening and valuable to everyone. I would recommend Eric to other organizations in search of an engaging speaker on the topics of sustainability and business strategy.
