Operations
Running the Firm Behind a Founder
How a personal branding firm divides the vision and the execution, from the Chief Operating Officer of Mashman Consulting Group.
Speaking and Executive Appearances
Eric Chow, Speaker. In the Room.
Addicted to adventures & good questions, and at his best in a room where people talk back. Eric speaks to private rooms and groups, and represents Mashman Consulting Group in executive appearances: panels, interviews, podcasts, and industry and corporate events.
Private Rooms
Small Rooms, Real Conversations.
So far, Eric has spoken in private rooms and to groups rather than on public stages, which is why there is no list of public appearances on this page yet. Public appearances will be listed here, and announced through the newsroom, as they happen.
A room like that suits him. For four years he asked the questions on his own podcast, going into every conversation looking for what was fascinating about the other person, and his talks are built the same way: a subject, his own experience of it, and time for the room to answer back.
