About Eric

If you've ever wondered what happens when curiosity meets purpose, meet Eric Rodriguez—a tech leader who doesn't just navigate between worlds, he builds bridges across them. When he moved from Houston to Ecuador at eleven, he discovered something that shaped everything since: opportunity isn't distributed equally—but innovation can help close the gap.

An electrical engineer by training and a human potential architect by passion, Eric has led innovation efforts from corporate corridors at Intel to classrooms in Swaziland. He believes that technology is less about circuits and more about connection—and that the best strategy begins with people.

Named among Arizona's 40 Under 40 and a Young Hispanic Corporate Achiever, Eric isn't collecting titles—he's collecting stories of transformation. His leadership with organizations like Aguila Youth, SHPE, and INROADS reflects a deeper mission: building ecosystems where equity, innovation, and humanity converge.

With a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Houston and an MBA from Loyola University New Orleans, Eric brings together technical expertise, lived experience, and empathetic leadership. He doesn't just see the future of technology—he's helping design it, one human connection at a time.
