Erik Burns's Linkedin Analytics

How are YOU revolutionary? Hi, I'm Erik - a product leader, engineer, and growth hacker with nearly 20 years of experience consulting for major B2B and B2C brands such as Apple, Capital One, Intuit, Tangible, and Realtor.com. My focus is on creating simple, unexpected, and joyful solutions that connect businesses with their customers in profoundly richer and more rewarding ways. So what's the "revolutionary secret" behind all great products? I believe it's relentless curiosity and a genuine desire to serve others. For me, success has often involved late nights, creative crises (followed by breakthroughs), and lots of sweating the small stuff. I've used this approach both as a designer and team lead to deliver award-winning products to over 100 million people worldwide. I've helped gain millions in incremental revenue for my clients and industry recognition such as "Featured by Apple" and a Webby. I also hold a degree in Neuroscience, so I'm particularly excited about the emergence of AI. LLMs have the power to transform the fields of L&D, finance, and sustainability. Technology is moving at a breakneck speed. Our climate is rapidly approaching a global crisis. How will we solve the challenges ahead? Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it.” With new problems comes a need for smarter, faster, and better tools. It is our job as founders, visionaries, and technologists to dream up and realize a brighter future. Things are about to get VERY interesting. Some people say if you're starting a company, you should hire a great lawyer. I'd add that if you're starting a company, you should hunt for a unicorn. And if you're ready to be revolutionary, we should talk.
