Eric started with a dream to transform personal finance and empower individuals to take control of their own financial lives. In 1994, he founded Lombard Brokerage, which pioneered online stock trading and invented many of the technologies used in banking, brokerage and insurance industries today.
In 1997 Eric sold Lombard to Morgan Stanley and was asked by CEO Phil Purcell to serve on their Management Committee at their world headquarters in New York, where he worked in marketing, e-commerce and internal acquisitions.
In early 2000, Eric was recruited by John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins (KPCB), and Ram Shriram of Sherpalo Ventures to be the CEO of Elance, a services marketplace on the web. At the end of 2001, Eric left Elance to form Roach Capital Partners.
Cameron is currently the CEO at Open Box Technologies, Inc., which he founded in 2004. Open Box is the developer and provider of SesameVault, a SaaS platform for businesses to store, manage, and publish video to the web and mobile devices.
Prior to Open Box Cameron founded Bicycle Parts Direct, Inc.: the first online mountain bike retail store to import high-quality, machine manufactured frames and components to the U.S. Cameron sold Bicycle Parts Direct, Inc. to his business partner prior to entering college.
Cameron is currently on a leave of absence from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he was pursuing undergraduate degrees in Economics and Electronic Arts.
