Eric Kirkhofer
Chief Financial Officer of Bader Rutter
Eric has been our CIO since September 2014, and he’s charged with building a strong partnership between our IT Team and the rest of the business – arguably the most important role in a technology company! He joined the company in 2013 as our CFO. Prior to joining our team, he served as VP of Finance for Kohl’s.
