Eric Smith
Founder & CEO
Beginning as an Independent Representative, Eric excelled in expanding sales channels across North America within the home improvement and decor sectors.

His aptitude for designing and executing go-to-market strategies, along with building high-performing sales organizations often resulted in demand that maximized the operational capacity of his client organizations.
