Eric Bakker has been recognized throughout his professional career as a leader with a vision for the future. He co-founded CDI with his wife, Trish Bakker, in their garage in Tappan, New York, and helped drive it into the $300M+ organization it is today.
Eric possesses a deep understanding of information technology and how to apply that technology
to meet core business objectives. He is a true entrepreneur who has always been one step ahead of the marketplace.
