Eric Pulier

In 1997, the Presidential Inaugural Committee selected Mr. Pulier to create and execute the Presidential Technology Exhibition in Washington D.C. Subsequently, he volunteered to take on the creation of Starbright World, a pioneering effort that connected 70 hospitals together around the country in a video-enabled online virtual world for children.

Pulier founded many successful ventures as a founder, co-founder, or seed investor.

Pulier is the author of a noted book on service-oriented architecture, and a popular public speaker at premier technology conferences around the globe. Pulier is a donor to several non-profit organizations, and sits on the innovation board of the X-Prize Foundation (competitions to solve humanities greatest challenges), The Painted Turtle (camp for kids with chronic illness), and other organizations.

On 13 April 2015, Pulier resigned from CSC following a bribery scandal related to his selling of the company ServiceMesh to CSC ^[1].
