Hello, I'm Eric Gaydos.

β€πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» I work full-time in product & operations, helping to grow tech companies.

I'm currently Director of Product Management at Leap, a platform building a totally new model for retail real estate by leasing, operating, and optimizing brick-and-mortar retail stores for growing brands.

As a member of the product leadership team at Leap, I help to shape the strategies behind our web application, our underlying technology platform, and in-store capabilities across our network of over 100 retail store across the US. I support the methodologies behind our product development lifecycle, product management and product marketing efforts, and work closely with our revenue teams to ensure our platform is meeting the needs of our partner brands.

I also lead our Integration function, a customer-facing team that plays a key role in welcoming and connecting new brands to the platform.

You can see more details from my career here.

πŸ“Έβ€ I also travel around the world with a camera working as a freelance professional photographer.

I take pictures of landscapes, architecture, travel, aviation, and various productions from conferences to dodgeball championships.

I use light, textures, perspectives, and timing in pursuit of revealing an understanding of a thing or place at one specific point in time. I try to capture moments I or my clients and customers will want to remember years from now.

You can learn more about my photography here.

πŸ› οΈβ€ I love building things, like this website.

I think it's incredibly important to make things. I've been hacking together websites to pass the time since I built my first one at 11 years old (sup Geocities). I also love a DIY project, like the time I built my cat an unnecessarily huge perch called the Burj Cat-ifa.

I'd love to connect on Instagram or Threads, or you can always drop me a line at egaydos@pm.me.
