Eric’s 30+ years career has exposed him to various technical and management roles.  He started his career working on HV breakers for Alstom and then moved to Schneider.  Fast-forward to today he supports Schneider partners and the Power System marketing team to find technico-commercial solutions for our customers.  He’s also participating in various standards committees and has taken on a mentorship role for new hires at Schneider.

The Chair position had previously been held for two years by Komal Kingrani of Eaton. We thank Komal for his enthusiasm while in the chair position and his dedication to the section.
