Summary
Eric Ely is an engineering manager and entrepreneur with over 15 years in software, currently leading teams at CB Insights from Greater Boston. He has a strong track record building scalable, data-driven platforms—ranging from insurance prospecting engines and prior-authorization systems to cloud-connected IoT products like the bluz development kit and GoGlove. As a former CTO and co-founder, he blends hands-on engineering (AWS, Node, React, Groovy, embedded C++) with product strategy to turn complex domain requirements into reliable production systems. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and embedded stacks, he excels at designing end-to-end solutions that integrate disparate data sources and strict security/privacy needs. Pragmatic and entrepreneurial, he’s skilled at taking ideas from prototyping to acquisition and long-term operational success.
