Background

About Eric Petro

I’m a finance executive who thrives on solving problems, building clarity, and helping teams move forward. I’ve worked closely with CEOs, boards, and cross-functional leaders across media and entertainment, guiding strategy and delivering results through practical, steady leadership. My background includes an MBA from Harvard, a Wharton undergrad degree, and CPA training. I’ve led finance at iNDEMAND, Time Warner Cable, and Disney, including launching PPV.COM, saving $20M through a lease exit and remote shift, and supporting major transactions like the Adelphia/Comcast deal involving 3.5 million subscribers. I believe finance should make things easier for the people it serves. It should help shape decisions, illuminate tradeoffs, and build confidence across the organization. I’m known for judgment, responsiveness, and the ability to break down complex issues into clear, actionable steps while partnering across teams to get things done right. If this sounds like what your company needs in a finance leader, I’d welcome a conversation.
