About Fringe Learning

Eric trained as an engineer (Ecole Centrale de Lyon) but never worked as one. What caught him early was something different: helping people learn. From facilitating workshops in a pan-European student NGO, to teaching physics in Berlin, to designing cross-selling programs and strategic workshops at his first corporate job, the thread was always the same: the spark when someone suddenly gets it.

The commercial depth came at Ingersoll Rand, where Eric spent twelve years. First as a Product Manager owning a €60M compressor portfolio across Europe, Middle East, and Africa, living the daily reality of sales targets and product launches. Then as Global Product Training Leader, building the function from scratch for the compressed air business and deploying experiential programs across the globe. And finally as Corporate Commercial L&D Leader, with a team across 4 continents transforming learning for a 10,000-person sales force spanning more than 50 countries.

But the more the role grew, the further it drifted from what energized him. More managing, more reporting, less creating. Less time with actual learners. Less of those moments where someone’s eyes light up.

So he made a choice. He founded Fringe Learning to get back to creating and facilitating learning experiences, with an intention to bring the most value he  can to the world.
