Eric Haseltine Biography

Eric C. Haseltine has spent his career assisting companies in harvesting the future by building far-sighted technical solutions that offer immediate benefit. With extensive expertise in a variety of sectors, he is a specialist in managing innovation processes. He's done it for Hughes Aircraft, developing virtual reality technology for flight simulation, Disney Imagineering as head of R&D, and finally the US intelligence agency as the Director of National Intelligence's CTO. Dr. Haseltine specializes in re-discovering rapid growth in companies whose sales and profitability have plateaued. Haseltine helps businesses uncover huge possibilities that are there in front of them but that they don't notice because of the human brain's inherent inclination to filter out information that it doesn't expect or desire, using concepts detailed in his book, Long Fuse Big Bang. Eric not only tells businesses how to identify possibilities hidden in their brain's don't-expect-don't-want blind spots but also how to seize these opportunities once recognized, based on his experiences as a Ph.D. Neuroscientist and top leader in both industry and government. Fortune 100 corporations and big federal organizations are among his consultancy customers. Haseltine Partners LLC's President and Managing Partner are Eric Haseltine.
