Steve Eriksen is the Founder of EventRaptor – the new solution to making Virtual Event Management easy!

He’s also a tech integration specialist and automation enthusiast.

In his previous role as the Chief Technology Officer for Mary Morrissey, a life coach certification organization with an 8-figure revenue, he was responsible for all the tech that went into their events with thousands of attendees. When Steve hosted a summit for his own coaching business, he couldn’t find a good system to help him run his event.

So he took his technical background in the events space, combined it with his real-world experience as an event host, and created EventRaptor, a system that makes virtual event management easy.
