MGMT 816 – Building Human Assets in Entrepreneurial Ventures
Bio:
Eric Newman has spent the past 22 years
developing an expertise in starting and developing a human resources function
in entrepreneurial companies. Understanding that the purpose and strategy of an
effective human resources department is similar across industries, Eric has
been able to demonstrate the immediate bottom line impact of effective Human
Resource practices. Eric has developed award winning departments in a venture
supported information technology services organization, the Philadelphia
Eagles, an investment advisory firm and most recently a financial services
firm. Each of these firms had not had a human resources function prior to
Eric’s employment with them. Through recognizing the unique attributes of each
organization, Eric was able to craft an effective department to meet their
specific needs.
Eric received his undergraduate degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1986. He received his M.S.Ed. from the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania in 1992.
