Eric Vessels

Eric is the President of WhatTheyThink and a serial online entrepreneur with a focus on building online engagement in niche content-driven communities. Since 2002, he has played a key role in the development and growth of WhatTheyThink. This includes recruiting and managing some of the industry’s best thought leaders, cementing relationships with the company’s broad array of sponsors, initiating and managing ongoing partnerships with key industry stakeholders, and helping to guide the organization into new areas of coverage and new opportunities.

When he’s not building relationships and growing the WhatTheyThink business, you can find Eric at the mic fronting his second hard rock band. He also enjoys writing poetry - haiku is his favorite form. His bourbon collection is nearing epic proportions and he’s on a never-ending quest to find the perfect cocktail bar. PS: NEVER hand him a microphone. He WILL beatbox.
