In this episode, our guest is Eric L Hu, who is on a mission to help Americans ‘Save Money Live Better’. Currently serving as Principal, Group Strategy Lead at Walmart, Hu stewards a $100B portfolio for digital and in-store products across financial services, health & wellness, and consumer identity. Prior to the Fortune One, Eric spent the better part of a decade architecting customer experiences in highly regulated industries like automotive, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare.   

Hu’s stochastic career path is aptly articulated by his mentor as a "musician turned marketer, forever a passionate performer." From an early age, he remembers his mom always saying something about an inability to sit still. Eric transitioned from a 13-year-long run in classical violin performance to the then-burgeoning NY startup scene, then to commercial photography for brands like Mercedes-Benz and Range Rover, and finally to the design agency world where he earned his pseudo-MBA at shops like AKQA, Havas, R/GA, Code & Theory, and Deloitte Digital.    

Today, Eric is dedicated to nurturing a community of troublemakers – strategic thinkers and creative dreamers who choose never to sit still. You will likely find him nursing chrysanthemum tea, obsessing over a vintage print-ad collection in his east village studio.
