Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Fries is a senior engineering leader with 11 years of hands-on software experience who currently heads engineering at BentoBox in New York. He progressed through technical and managerial roles at the company—from Software Engineer to Sr. Director—guiding product delivery, team growth, and operational scaling. Unusually for an engineering executive, Eric is also a trained attorney (J.D.) with practical expertise in data security, privacy, IP, and technology contracts, which he has applied advising startups and corporations. That legal-technical duality gives him a strong edge in building compliant, contract-aware systems and navigating risk-sensitive product decisions. He studied web development at Flatiron School and began his career practicing internet and IP law, blending rigorous legal thinking with pragmatic software execution. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic operator who turns complex regulatory and technical constraints into auditable, deployable solutions.
