Eric Sinoway Email & Phone Number

I am currently the CEO of Pravi, which is a company that helps organizations grow. Pravi grew out of a relationship that began with the father of entrepreneurship - iconic Harvard Business School professor, Howard Stevenson - while pursuing my master's degree at Harvard. Our story is told in my book, Howard's Gift: Uncommon Wisdom to Inspire Your Life's Work (www.howardsgift.com).The Pravi community is composed of extraordinary men and women, including the below. The father of entrepreneurship. The founder of one of FastCompany’s most innovative companies of 2023. The champion for the hospitality mindset. The titan of the insurance market. The Naval Officer and promoter of Systems Thinking. The Founder of one of the top 200 NGOs worldwide. The leader in the field of social entrepreneurship. The author of best-selling books and impactful learning tools. The innovator who caused a step change in Harvard’s thinking about what was possible. The executive leading a model skills-training program.

I am proud to be the author of the book Howard's Gift: Uncommon Wisdom to Inspire Your Life's Work, which was inspired by my relationship with my former professor, friend, and business partner, former Harvard University Vice Provost, Howard H. Stevenson. Howard's Gift features Howard's wisdom and that of extraordinary individuals such as Mindy Grossman (former CEO, HSN & Weight Watchers), Soledad O'Brien (award-winning journalist & entrepreneur), Kirk Posmantur (founder, Axcess Worldwide), Nancy Brinker (founder, Race for the Cure), Carl Banks (NY Giants All-Pro), and Mark Lazarus (Chairman, NBC Universal Television). Thought Leadership derived from Howard's Gift has been featured by Harvard Business Review, CNN, Inc, Fortune, and Fast Company, among others. Motivational and educational talks have been given at organizations and universities including State Farm Insurance, American Hotel & Lodging Association, American Express, University of Colorado, Cornell, and The Public Affairs Institute. Howard's Gift has been translated into four languages and is sold worldwide.

New York, Ny, Us

I am pleased to be a member of The Executive Forum, which is a professional group that consists of 400+ members at market-moving companies.

Austin, Tx, Us

I worked with the CEO, executive leadership team, and key alliance partners to implement a turnaround strategy that successfully led to the sale of one of the largest out-of-home media companies in the U.S.

I helped build one of the country's first "partnership development" agencies with visionary founder, Kirk Posmantur. With an active team of investors, AXCESS purchased a sister company, Worth Media, which I subsequently led as CEO. Axcess and Worth engaged UHNWI, entrepreneurs, executives, professors, investors, and philanthropists -- and the brands and organizations that served them -- through partnership development, media platforms, thought leadership, events, and relationship-building strategies.

I am honored to have worked with Harvard's Vice Provost and leadership team to develop strategies that entailed representing the University to new (and, often, underrepresented) constituents, developing creative advancement strategies, facilitating collaboration between Harvard’s schools, and managing some of the University’s most highly valued supporters.

I helped manage and optimize key relationships, including with former California Secretary of Education Bonnie Reiss, Chairperson Arnold Schwarzenegger, and corporate CEOs, during the launch of one of the first large-scale digital divide programs in the country -- a program that grew out of my work with a corporate foundation in a Fortune 100 company.

Brooklyn, New York, Us

I led the corporate sponsorship program for 30 subsidiaries—Century 21, Avis, Budget, Days Inn, Ramada, and others in the portfolio—and transformed it from a cost center to a profit center that contributed $2.5 million of incremental EBITDA.
