Eric Murray, MBAFounder

United States - Apex, North Carolina,

WHO I AM: I am the “innovator,” the “strategist,” and the “entrepreneur” who builds a team around envisioning and then capitalizing on opportunities. I see the potential in new technologies and business models, transform the opportunity into a simple value proposition, build multitalented teams to execute the business model, and connect customers with the new solution. I lead from the front as the activator that ensures Everybody—the business, customers, and market—benefits from the initiative.

WHAT I DO: I have heard, “Execution is where good ideas go to die.” In my experience, a well-crafted strategy, appropriate resources, and tenacious execution are all required for superior results. I bring the vision of a strategist, the pragmatism of a businessperson, and the detail-focused view of an engineer to each opportunity. By optimizing the whole process, we deliver profitable results together.

WHO I WORK WITH: I forge lasting connections with business stakeholders, customers, and partners—recognizing that one person can play all three roles—based on mutual goals and the right amount of camaraderie. I have a record of building partnerships that leverage shared resources, existing expertise, and collaboration to deliver a complete solution to market faster. For example, I drove both the Tantalus/Itron and ABB/Accenture alliances to mutual success.

WHERE I EXCEL: By incorporating strategies from R&D, sales, marketing, finance, and operations, I deliver growth for companies of diverse sizes and industries, including Fortune 100 enterprises. I’ve enjoyed multiple opportunities to start and grow multimillion-dollar revenue, as well as deliver large project revenue in new models.
