Born in Israel and raised in South Florida, Eric brings a unique global perspective and deep local expertise to the South Florida real estate market. His career began in financial services in 2002 as a Registered Investment Advisor at UBS. He later joined a prominent Family Office as a trader after earning his MBA from the University of Miami, graduating with honors in Management and Marketing.

Eric went on to build a successful proprietary trading business, focusing on IPO and syndicate strategies, which generated approximately $10 million in profits from 2012 to 2015. He then co-founded Infinitum Partners, a Long/Short Equity and VC/Growth Equity hedge fund with over $675 million in assets as of March 2026, where he served as Chief Operating Officer. His next venture took him into consumer branding as co-founder and CEO of Ortega Beauty, a celebrity-backed cosmetics line built in partnership with renowned makeup artist Etienne Ortega.

With over two decades of experience in high-stakes dealmaking, sales leadership, and brand building, Eric has established a reputation for tenacity, discretion, and strong negotiation skills. These qualities make him a natural fit in the competitive luxury real estate market.

Although licensed since 2016, Eric has recently made a full-time pivot into real estate, joining The Julian Johnston Team at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, one of the top-performing teams in the country. He specializes in Miami’s luxury real estate market, representing clients across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties in both residential and commercial transactions.

Eric holds a BBA in Finance and Entrepreneurship from the University of Miami, where he graduated Cum Laude, and is fluent in both English and Hebrew.

Outside of real estate, Eric is a devoted father and a passionate supporter of the Miami Hurricanes. He’s an active member of Canes Connection, the official NIL partner of Miami Athletics. His hobbies include fitness, art, theater, travel, investing, live music, and collecting rare music memorabilia.
