Eric Baca’s Commitment to Excellence Makes Him Ninja of the Month

Eric Baca of Strategic Group is zen-like in his mastery of MainEvent.

In MainEvent (by Network Ninja), we have users of all different levels and responsibilities. Some are casual staff users who log in, check their Shifts, maybe fill out a Recap or two. Others are power users who dabble in things like Report building and user Role management. Guru-level users may get involved in designing new functionality or workflows to make their business easier to manage.

Then, there’s Eric Baca, Director of Compliance, Systems & Training at Strategic Group. Eric architects new features, examines workflows, analyzes data, and trains thousands of field staff in a completely unprecedented way. All this and more is why we’re proud to name Eric Ninja of the Month.

When not tinkering on the portal, Eric enjoys “gardening” out on his 3rd floor NYC terrace (a sliver of urban outdoor paradise), new music, art and as a Buddhist maintains a daily meditation practice. Here he is wearing a sweet custom meditation-inspired Ninja of the Month shirt!

“The MainEvent/Network Ninja team and I have collaborated for nearly a decade now. This relationship of understanding the product, the process, and the people that support SG allows me to better serve the organization because I can provide insight from a variety of perspectives.”
