Dashboards people
actually use.

I'm Eric — founder of root.co. Eight years inside enterprise workforce planning taught me one thing: most reporting goes unread. I build the kind operators open every morning — KPI systems, forecasting models, and reporting automation that replace the spreadsheet ritual.

01What I do

Six things, one discipline: turn operating data into decisions.

01 · core

KPI dashboards & operational reporting

The morning view your operators actually open. One screen, the metrics that move the business, signal over noise.

02 · forecasting

Workforce analytics & forecasting

Headcount, capacity, shrinkage, attrition. Models that hold up to a real planning conversation.

03 · automation

Reporting automation & workflow

Kill the Monday-morning copy-paste. Replace recurring decks with pipes that publish themselves.

04 · systems

Business intelligence systems

End-to-end BI — sources, modeling, semantic layer, surfaces. Built so the second hire can keep it running.

05 · visual

Data visualization & executive insights

Charts that respect the reader. Boardroom-ready views that tell the truth, not just the story.

06 · cross-fn

Cross-functional operational analytics

Ops, finance, HR, customer — connected. So nobody is left arguing about whose number is right.

02Selected work

Real problems. Real operators. Real numbers.

live deployment

Achieve Capital Partners ran their portfolio out of weekly spreadsheets pulled by hand from Mortgage Automator. I built a purpose-built KPI dashboard that pulls live, gives partners one operating picture, and replaces the Friday reporting ritual.

approach · how I work

A four-week loop, never a six-month spec.

// engagement · v1
Week 1Listen · shadow the operator
Week 2Model · sources + KPIs + truth
Week 3Ship v1 · live in their workflow
Week 4Iterate · adoption check

Built so the team uses it on day one, not on the kickoff call you have six weeks from now.

Operator-grade workflow — strategy, analytics, and build under one roof
  • 01 8+ years in enterprise workforce planning and analytics — running the discipline at scale, not consulting on it from the outside.
  • 02 Concentrix experience supporting large-scale operations across global teams. Enterprise communication, delivery standards, accountability — by default.
  • 03 Real reporting systems used for real operational decision-making — not portfolio mockups, not internal demos.
  • 04 One workflow that combines business strategy, analytics, and technical execution. Fewer handoffs, fewer translations, faster outcomes.
  • 05 Systems teams adopt — I optimize for what gets opened on Monday morning, not for what wins design awards.
04How I think

Four working principles.

01

Adoption is the metric. A dashboard that isn't opened daily isn't a dashboard. It's a deliverable.

02

Find the root. Most KPI requests are symptoms. The job starts by asking what decision the number is for.

03

Ship in weeks. The first version goes live in week three. Truth holds up faster than perfection.

04

One operator, one screen. If it doesn't fit on the morning view, it goes in the drilldown — not the headline.

05Off the clock

Outside the screen.

I work like someone who spends weekends underwater, on a saddle, or three days off-grid in a tent. The clarity comes from elsewhere — long rides, longer dives, the same Coldplay record on the climb home.

I think culture exploration belongs in the same category as good analytics: both reward people who actually pay attention.

06Start something

If you have a reporting ritual you'd rather retire, let's talk.

I take on a small number of engagements at a time. Tell me what's broken about Monday morning — I'll respond inside two business days, usually one.
