About Eric

Eric J Rodriguez's journey from a curious boy in Ecuador to a visionary leader in the tech sector epitomizes how technology and education can transform lives. Experiencing stark contrasts in wealth and opportunities at the age of eleven, following a move from Houston to Ecuador, Eric discovered his passion: harnessing technology to bridge gaps and create opportunities.

This vision took a definitive shape when Eric encountered his school's first computer lab in the seventh grade at El Colegio Javier. That moment set him on a path to impactful roles such as the Education Regional Director at Intel, impacting lives from Arizona to Swaziland and back to his roots in Ecuador.

Eric's career spans across engineering, human resources, and strategic leadership, all anchored around a singular mission: to integrate technology in ways that enhance human experiences. His work with Aguila Youth, SHPE, Prospanica, and INROADS, along with accolades like being named in Arizona's 40 Under 40 and as a Young Hispanic Corporate Achiever, are testaments to his far-reaching impact.

In his role as a speaker and consultant, Eric combines technical expertise with empathetic leadership, guiding organizations to embrace technology while maintaining their focus on human values. He is committed to preparing entities for a future where technology enhances human capabilities, inspiring leaders and organizations to adopt transformative strategies that enrich our lives.

Holding a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Houston and an MBA from Loyola University New Orleans, Eric's narrative is more than a series of achievements; it's a beacon of inspiration, driving change and guiding the way towards a future where technology and humanity thrive together.
