About Eric Posner

As CEO and Executive Coach at RIPE, I’m building a media-meets-coaching company for the next generation of leaders. We push individuals, businesses, and teams to reach their potential.If you’re a founder, exec, or creative navigating high-stakes transitions and asking bigger questions—we’ve got you.Most of my clients are in the middle of a big shift. Something in their world—their company growth, role, or sense of self—is evolving, and the old way of operating no longer fits.We partner on business strategy, fundraising, and leadership development—while also holding space for the personal shifts that fuel lasting change.Together, we cut through the noise, find clarity, and build aligned momentum. So they can lead with more power, raise with conviction, and move through whatever’s next with intention.My own path started in finance. I built and scaled gyms (managing 100+ people), then co-founded a VC-backed fitness tech company that went through Techstars and raised over 8 figures. I’ve hired, fired, fundraised, burned out, and bounced back. That real-world experience fuels the work I do now.When I’m not leading RIPE, I host founder workouts and sauna sessions, write raw reflections on my Substack (The Modern Day Focker), and girl-dad like it’s a competitive sport.If you’re done forcing what’s no longer working—and ready to lead with more clarity, edge, and alignment—let’s f*cking go.
