About Eric Van Dam
A bold, outside-the-box leader with a knack for growing brands, building all-star teams, and creating strategies that deliver results. With 20+ years of experience working with iconic names like Red Bull, Heineken, General Mills, Wana, and Wyld, I’ve helped reshape industries and launch game-changing products. Passionate about collaboration, making things happen, and celebrating wins (big and small) along the way. When I’m not driving growth and innovation, I’m a proud dad of two, an advocate for men’s mental health, and an outdoor enthusiast who loves skiing, golfing, mountain biking, and occasionally flexing my skills in the kitchen.
