Eric Horton Bio:
As a former administrator and director in the Department of Labor for Business Solutions in Tennessee, I worked with teams across the state to serve incoming and present businesses, source talent from the transitioning military, and establish the first apprenticeship program in Tennessee. I have multiple certifications and honors in PMP, Lean Six Sigma, supply chain, and leadership, and I am always looking for opportunities to learn and grow. My passion is to help veterans and businesses thrive in a competitive and dynamic environment.
With over 15 years of experience in workforce development, veteran services, logistics, and innovation, I help organizations and individuals create employment initiatives that foster economic prosperity and growth.
