About Eric Gerstein
For me, immigration and mobility are not just about visas and petitions—they are about people, opportunity, and creating pathways for talent to thrive globally. My career has been defined by building scalable programs that connect employees to opportunities while protecting businesses with compliance and risk management. As an Immigration & Mobility Director, I advised Fortune 500 companies and multinational enterprises, leading programs worldwide. What ties every role together is my ability to integrate legal expertise, technology, and operational strategy into solutions that reduced costs, accelerated timelines, and safeguarded compliance. Career highlights include: • Won and launched services in 78 countries within six months, establishing global compliance frameworks and operational readiness for a Fortune 500 client. • Reduced cycle times by 25% through RPA automation, multi-time zone support, and elimination of process redundancies. • Directed global immigration programs that offshored hours annually, improving profit margins while maintaining compliance. • Designed vendor request systems that consolidated service orders, improved invoice accuracy, and strengthened vendor oversight. • Implemented global technology platforms that increased market share by 15% and improved client satisfaction. • Managed a $6M immigration program with a team of 50+, ensuring operational excellence and regulatory alignment. • At Microsoft, achieved a 99% petition approval rate while directing U.S. immigration strategy for 1,250+ employees. Across industries and borders, I thrive in the space where law, business, and people intersected. I am known for transforming legal frameworks into business strategy, enabling companies to move talent with confidence while keeping employees supported through complex transitions. Colleagues describe me as resourceful, collaborative, and forward-thinking. I bring clarity to high-pressure situations, balance detail with vision, and always look for opportunities to improve processes without losing sight of the human impact. Now, I carry forward the same belief that guided my entire career: immigration and mobility are not just legal functions, but strategic enablers of growth, innovation, and retention. If you are seeking someone who had proven success aligning immigration with business strategy, building scalable programs, and leading teams through global complexity—I welcome the opportunity to connect.
