“As a leader, Eric manages to inspire a great balance of respect and relationship in his direct reports. He is incredibly consistent, and manages to balance fun and energy with accountability and hard work. Eric has seen great success in every role he's occupied and I have no doubt he will continue to do so as his career progresses. Abstrakt is a better company for his presence, and his knack for understanding people coupled with a great business acumen will ensure the Pipeline division continues to flourish under his leadership.”

Watkins, 27, also acts as “chief huddle officer” to ensure that teams convene three times a day. In the huddles, he leads discussions about the positive results of people’s work and closes the meeting with a team chant. This practice aims to improve employee morale.
Watkins’ professional and personal growth exemplifies the company culture at Abstrakt, according to Scott Scully, president and CEO of Abstrakt Marketing Group. “Eric is an invaluable asset to the constant development of excellence in our workplace, and the contributions he has made to our culture [are] immeasurable.”
