Colleagues describe him as "I feel fortunate to have known Erik for 10 years, a period that we have worked quite closely in various roles. Erik is one of the most outstanding colleagues I have ever met. What makes Erik unique is the diversity of his skills and his ability to put them in practice and deliver. First of all, Erik is a superb scientist with deep technical knowledge. Yet, I have seen him do very well in very different roles such as a sales manager, a marketing leader and a people manager. He is extremely intelligent, articulate and results oriented. He can transform complex concepts and processes into practical ones everybody can understand and practice. The whole EMEA team embraced six sigma methodology at a level I had not seen before after Erik took over the master black belt in the titanium technologies business. I have also seen Erik to transform the way technical marketing team worked when he was the technical marketing leader. He brought structure to the way his team collaborated with the commercial side of the business. He prioritized technology projects based on clearly defined and agreed on criteria. He gathered regular feedback from all stakeholders and used that to coach and develop his people. Erik earns my highest recommendation as a technology leader who delivers business results.", "I worked with Erik as second coach for Six Sigma Green Belt project. I was impressed by his Six Sigma knowledge and experience: none of the question asked in the classroom found him not well prepared for the requested satisfactory answer. I like his flexibility and detailed way of answering. The two weeks training done together were a very productive time, enjoyable experience and very good learning for me. I recommend working with Erik in Six Sigma.", and "I was working for Erik as a Technical Consultant in DuPont Titanium Technologies. During that time I had the chance to learn from Erik's great presentation skills and his eye for details without loosing the overall picture. As a manager I appreciate the always welcome attitude. The bigger framework/targets of my job were openly discussed, while he gave me the freedom to fill in the details, as I felt they should be done. It was a pleasure to work for Erik."
