Before co-founding GTM Savants, he led companies through periods of transformation, including serving as CEO of iMakr and Managing Director of Hobs 3D, where he focused on operational restructuring, market expansion, and digital transformation. Today, through GTM Savants, Eric works with startups, spinouts, and SMEs to help them design go-to-market systems that are commercially aligned and operationally scalable. His work goes beyond sales tactics, focusing instead on positioning, channel strategy, commercial infrastructure, and execution consistency across teams. A central theme in Eric’s work is that growth problems rarely begin where they first appear. Weak pipelines, inconsistent conversion, and stalled growth are often symptoms of deeper operational misalignment. That systems-level thinking makes this conversation especially relevant for founders and leaders of professional services firms looking to scale sustainably.Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
