About Erik

Engineer turned executive for accelerating growth through innovation. Growth accelerator for organizations from corporate startups to turnarounds and from mid-market to the Fortune 100. An operations & process improvement leader enabled through software & data, particularly adept at iteratively scaling teams.

Originally started after joining a boutique consulting firm to focus on software engineering, the meaning of "software" has since broadened to refer to business in general due to the idea that every business is becoming a software business. To tie together the original purpose of my blog with what it has eventually become, I recently replaced my blog's original tagline with the following:

Every business is becoming a software business, catching up with humans who have been software all along.

Erik on Software was recently replatformed and refreshed, with a migration from Typepad to Ghost, but some post-migration tasks remain, including the configuring of additional redirects and fixing some formatting and images. Recent posts are being prioritized, as some older posts may be sunsetted.
