Eric Zeitoun


CEO & FOUNDER

Eric has over twenty years of experience advising clients across B2B and B2C sectors in the development of their business, innovation and marketing strategies.

He began his career in business and marketing strategy roles on both the corporate side (Sara Lee) and consultancies (Interbrand, Lippincott and LEK), before moving to the branding firm Dragon Rouge, where he developed the North American branding business and started the global innovation practice.

But he soon found that running a global agency meant little time doing the work he loved. In 2014, he co-founded Black Bamboo to help brands grow with a more humanistic eye to the future — and to get his hands dirty again!

Born in Paris, Eric has lived in NY for almost 20 years. But you might find him instead roaming the remote regions of Uzbekistan, or tracking down the latest sushi counter in Tokyo.
