Eric began his career with the House Committee on Government Reform, where he contributed to research and policy initiatives under then-Congressman Tom Davis of Virginia. He later expanded his research skills, working as a paralegal at Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP before joining Barclays in 2008 following its acquisition of Lehman Brothers.
