President & Chief Vision Officer

“Innovate, motivate, and lead with integrity, to generate results,” define Erich’s core values. He brings to Akrinos a keen understanding of the “real world” challenges practices and patients face every day, having witnessed tens-of-thousands of unique patient, doctor, and team journeys during his tenure as a senior account manager and field trainer with a global leader in eye care. These observations, coupled with extensive, on-going study of business and teams, people and consumer behavior, and technology and automation in healthcare, are the foundation upon which Erich is committed to shape Akrinos’ collaborative, “think-outside-the-box” culture, and build and lead an agile, client-centric organization dedicated to delivering results to Akrinos’ clients in the dynamic eyecare landscape.

Erich holds a Master of Business Administration from Loyola University of New Orleans with a focus in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. When Erich is not leading Akrinos in partnering with doctors and their teams to “revolutionize practice outcomes” he enjoys road trips with his wife and two children, cycling, and playing guitar.
