Web2 is broken. I can help you fix it. 

Hi, I'm Eric! I make things that work, and I make things work. 

I’m a results-driven, highly-strategic, multidimensional Content Designer, UX Writer, and Digital Experience Strategist with 15+ years of experience. I built the content design system at Indeed that allowed us to quickly scale to become the largest assessments platform in the world (1B+ completed per year, $80M in revenue). 

I’m equally adept at building new experiences and fixing broken ones. I’ve helped build 3 successful startups (Interviewed was acquired by Indeed, Laskie was acquired by X), produced talks, videos, and conferences on technology, education, and voting systems (TEDxNYED, Left Forum, The Center for Election Science), created a top-15 iTunes podcast (Think Again for Big Think), and founded the STEM program at a top prep school in NYC (Collegiate). I've designed sports statistics, betting systems, and voting system algorithms since I was a kid. I've written multiple plays and films and associate-produced Broadway shows.

With my hybrid enterprise/startup/education/data/creative mentality, I thrive on cross-functional, multidisciplinary teams, and I can also roll up my sleeves and work alone to ship things. I write and design end-to-end flows, messaging systems, and product copy that maximizes conversion. I’m an expert in designing and running tests.

My expertise working alongside stakeholders includes: content design, UX writing, design systems, digital marketing, content strategy, product operations, mobile design, user research, A/B testing, QA, automation, user onboarding and education, project management, legal compliance, and accessibility.

Growth = UX + Content + Product + Data

Galino Labs

As founder of Galino Labs, I am building what the industry lacked: a strategic nerve center where behavioral science meets deal-making muscle. 

We don't just advise - we rewire decision-making for biotech CEOs, investors and scientific leaders drowning in uncertainty.

Why 93% of strategic initiatives fail (and how we fix it):

- We implant behavioral science frameworks (prospect theory, pre-mortem analysis) that:
• Turn analysis paralysis into decisive M&A moves
• Convert risk aversion into calculated aggression
• Transform boardroom debates into aligned action within 3 meetings


Our proprietary intelligence engine, the "Signal House™", tracks what others miss:
• Hidden leverage points in R&D commercialization
• Clinical trial cost budgeting and design
• Portfolio blind spots distorting billion-dollar decisions

I am building Galino Labs, as the next business powerhouse in the life sciences industry with my expert collaborators, to deliver what leaders actually need:

• For founders, it is the "alchemy" that will turn science into irresistible investment narratives
• For investors, the "A Lens" to spot the 10X outliers before term sheets arrive
• For scientific leaders, the boardroom playbook to transition from lab genius to a commercial strategist

Our 3 brand pillars are:

Signal Intelligence → We see first, act fastest
Decision Engineering → Behavioral science meets dealmaking
Founder DNA → Built by operators, for operators

Are you building the strategic infrastructure for biotech's next decade?

Founder & Decision Architect

freelancer

Small pipettes shouldn’t mean small thinking. 

Beyond Galino Labs, I arm emerging bioscience founders with Fortune 500-caliber strategies.

Why?
 

Because breakthrough science deserves breakthrough commercial thinking.

Here’s where I change the game and the 3 high-impact solutions that come with it:

Market-focused due diligence - My scientific assessments don’t just evaluate technology, they blueprint commercialization pathways before your first funding round.

"Forward-look" business architecture -  My goal is to design business models that convert scientific promise into irresistible investment propositions.

Precision market navigation - No more wandering the "valley of death." I plot your route to market with the certainty of a Phase III clinical trial endpoint.

What makes this work? 

I’m fluent in both the language of peer review and the dialect of investor pitches. 

My frameworks help innovators anticipate market shifts before they appear on competitors’ radars. 

Most importantly:

I transform your data into strategic decisions so compelling they feel inevitable.

This isn’t consulting. This is strategic enablement for science pioneers.

Life Sciences Business Analyst

Genopole

The SHAKER program by Genopole, France's leading biocluster, is an innovative incubator designed for early-stage biotech entrepreneurs.

As a mentor in this program, my major role is to provide entrepreneurial insights to the biotech projects involved.

On top of that, bi-monthly I will be giving presentations to the student-founders on topics related to:

- Identifying the Biotech Market Needs
- Life Sciences Business Scaling-Up
- Conceptualizing Business Models
- Bringing Forward Their Value Proposition

My whole experience so far has been very rewarding, as I find great fulfilment by mentoring the founders that are part of the program.

Startup Mentor

SweetBlocks

As a Co-Founder at SweetBlocks, I was the second go-to-mastermind working behind the scenes, orchestrating every quirky detail of our revolutionary protocol that focuses on gamified web3 tokenomics, a concept that is exciting and still nascent in the space.

With a daring entrepreneurial  spirit and a passion for cutting-edge technology, I worked closely with our talented cross-functional team to ensure that our internal processes are delivered with ingenuity.

From inception to delivery, together with my colleague Marco Piccioli, we were setting our sights high and leading the charge to bring our bold vision to life. 

I thrive on the challenge of delivering unparalleled ideas in every aspect of our projects.

With a keen eye for detail and a sharp mind for risk management, I stayed one step ahead of the game, identifying potential issues and devising solutions before they become roadblocks.

Unfortunately, tough market times and our strong conviction in bootstrapping the project did not work out and the project has been deceased, hence I learnt tons on product ideation, design and project management.

Nous Systems

Business Development (Partnerships)

Zoetis UK

I had the opportunity to work at PetMedix, an Animal Health company, that was successfully acquired by Zoetis (the world's leading animal health company).

At PetMedix, under the supervision of Dr. Marco Bardelli, I was involved in the R&D department, where the aim was the ideation of therapeutic mAbs (design and bioengineering) for companion animals, where my work included:

-CHO culture preparation for mAbs expression
-Antibody design bioengineering
-Transfection
-Protein Purification and Characterization (Chromatographic Techniques - HPLC & IEX)
-Protein Stress Tests 
-ELISA and SDS-PAGE assays

Research Associate

Cignpost Diagnostics Ltd.

Previously Scientist for onsight COVID-19 testing at Cignpost Diagnostics Ltd  (Heathrow Airport). 

It was fun (at times) and hectic, but definitely learnt a lot from my colleagues during the pandemic times by seeing their work ethos.

Scientist

National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark

Student research assistant in the lab of Prof. Egon Bech Hansen, where my work was two fold:

1)  The computational discovery of proteases that can hydrolyse a specific region of potato's total proteasome.

This task has been followed by:

-Using already established bioinformatics tools that are readily available on the web
-Identification of interesting peptides from potato  protein that have potential food applications, and not only.
-In silico investigation of the features that potato protein possesses and how those can be exploited further downstream in the process.

2) The promoter expression level assaying of several Lactococcus strains, with a focus on the expression of a particular outer-membrane protease, named PrtP. 

The focus was on:

-Developing fastidious minimal media for the growth of L. lactis. This objective will support the main goal which is to create a growth substrate that can support the discovery of novel L. lactis mutants that acommodate mutations prefereably on the PrtP protease.
-Potato protein hydrolyzation through the mutants and identification of their specific characteristics ( 
through sequencing, checking the proteolysis pattern  and the optimal protease functioning conditions ).

Research Assistant

International Hellenic University

My thesis' project had as a major aim to identify the potential antimicrobial activity of several newly synthesized chemical compounds that could target the DNA gyrase of Escherichia coli. 

As Molecular Docking was our virtual screening method for identifying the most promising candidate compounds, diverse open-source bioinformatics tools have been used in order to succeed in discovering those that could be further studied not only in silico but also in vitro.

Noteworthy is that fact that the library of our tested ligands had been given for virtual screening through our collaborators at the Aristostle University of Thessaloniki, precisely from the School of Pharmacy of the same institution.

Research Thesis

Weizmann Institute of Science

I won a scholarship from the Kupcinet-Getz International Summer Science School Program of
Weizmann’s Institute in Israel, to conduct research at the lab of Dr. Ilana Kolodkin-Gal’s, in the Department of Molecular Genetics. 

My project had to do with the expression level assessment of SKF, an allelopath cannibalism toxin in Bacillus subtilis. To assess SKF’s expression level, B. subtilis during growth was treated with the root exudates of various plants.
