BGG: Eric, currently you have global visibility in your role as Yahoo Engagement Manager, and leading to up this point in your career, your roles progressed out of college from operations specialist, to systems administrator, enterprise support account manager to CEO… Tell us about your “four steps” to CEO?
EH: I finished school in ’96 when at the same time I’d started a web design company just around the beginning of the dot com bubble – Google hadn’t even been founded yet. During this time the World Wide Web was hot and I was definitely at right place at right time – my opportunities with the web design services based on what was in demand, which was a growing boom for web sites. While working I was also doing websites for a profession and also my fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha. I even became Midwestern Region Web Chair, of my chapter. I have to emphasize that I really was in the right career at the right time of the industry trend. Being CEO of a thriving web design company was a logical progression of all the elements being aligned: experience, preparation, demand and opportunity.
