Eric Koelma

FOUNDER + COO

With a background in corporate digital marketing and website design, Eric is our lead Influencer Strategist. He takes influencers through the entire concept to launch process, and ensures all the technical parts of your course (the hosting platform, email automations and student signups) work seamlessly. Think that's a lot? Eric's the rare kind of super-human who also works best between 9pm and 2am, and still manages to rise with the birds, without coffee (he hates the stuff!).
