Dr. Eric Solomon is a cognitive psychologist and former tech executive who has worked at the intersection of human behavior, storytelling, and technology for more than two decades. With leadership experience at companies like YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, and Google, Eric brings a rare combination of scientific insight and strategic perspective to his work with leaders and organizations around the world.
His approach is shaped by a career that spans both academic research and corporate innovation. He holds a Ph.D. in psychology with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco Medical School. After transitioning from academia into the tech industry, he led global brand strategy and people analytics at some of the most influential digital platforms of the modern era.
Today, Eric is the founder and CEO of The Human Operating System, a strategic platform designed to help individuals and teams align their values, behaviors, and communication. He works with CEOs, founders, and leadership teams to build cultures that are grounded, resilient, and clear in their purpose, especially in the face of uncertainty and technological change.
Eric’s work has been featured on TEDx stages and in publications like Psychology Today, and he serves on the boards of several nonprofit organizations. Through his advisory roles and public speaking, he continues to support teams and leaders in reconnecting with what makes them most effective: the human qualities that can’t be automated.
Blending a background in cognitive science with a deep understanding of brand, culture, and systems, Eric helps organizations navigate complexity with focus and intention. His work is rooted in the belief that lasting impact comes not from doing more, but from doing what matters—with clarity and integrity.
