ABOUT ERIC PALMQUIST

I work at the intersection of finance, operations, and strategy, helping commercial and engineering teams translate operational performance into financial insight and better business decisions.My background features operational excellence, including three years in continuous improvement within medical device manufacturing. I’ve led initiatives across standard costing, forecasting, executive performance reporting, and process improvement—partnering with engineering, manufacturing, and leadership teams to improve performance across safety, quality, delivery, and cost metrics.As a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, I bring a structured, analytical approach to solving complex problems. I enjoy digging into data, understanding how systems work, and identifying practical opportunities to improve efficiency, visibility, and financial outcomes.I’m particularly interested in roles where finance supports strategy and operations—including strategic finance, business operations, and corporate strategy—especially in organizations that value cross-functional collaboration and continuous improvement. Additionally, medical technology and life science industries energize me as I can contribute to saving and improving lives.Based in Salt Lake City, I spend my free time trail running, cycling, camping, and exploring the Wasatch Mountains and beyond. I have completed several ultramarathons, and nothing excites me like a long day in the mountains on feet, wheels, or skis. When I\'m too tired for any more of that, I nerd out on economics, music, architecture, cooking, and writing.
