Erich Baum, COO and EOS Integrator - Interview BIO:

Erich is the COO and EOS Integrator at Revenue Arm, supporting businesses as a Fractional Integrator/FCOO. Prior to Revenue Arm he spent 5 years at Mobile Defenders as their Vice President and Integrator, and 9 years at the world’s largest distributor of arts and crafts products (Notions Marketing), as their Director of Operations. Prior to his time at Notions, he worked at a Tier 1, Fortune 500, automotive supplier, Johnson Controls, in various technical and leadership roles - starting as a Manufacturing Engineer, after graduating from Western Michigan University.  Erich, his wife, and their 3 children are from Byron Center, Michigan.

Outside of RA much of his time is spent supporting the many activities of his 3 kids and his wife’s business, Genesis One Designs.  When he has time to himself, he enjoys reading – mostly business-related books, but fiction and the occasional biography as well.

Fun fact:  Erich loves being on and in the water.  When the water is frozen, you can find him skiing or playing/coaching ice hockey. When the ice melts, he and his younger son enjoy SCUBA diving together. So far, their favorite diving spot has been the warm waters around Cozumel.
