Eric Basu

Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Haiku Inc

As the CEO of Haiku Inc, I am passionate about creating innovative and engaging games that teach real-world cybersecurity skills and connect players to career opportunities. With over 20 years of experience as a serial entrepreneur and investor in the cybersecurity and technology sectors, I have founded and led multiple successful startups, such as Sentek Global, a leading provider of government and commercial cybersecurity solutions, and the San Diego Cyber Center of Excellence, a nonprofit organization that fosters the growth and development of the cybersecurity ecosystem in the region.

I leverage my diverse background and expertise in gaming, cybersecurity, business development, public speaking, government contracting, and military special operations to build and scale high-performance teams, create value from ideas, and solve complex problems. As a former SEAL officer in the U.S. Navy, I have a strong sense of mission, leadership, and resilience, and I aim to inspire and empower others to achieve their full potential. I am also an active member of the board of directors and advisor to several organizations that support law enforcement, military veterans, and education, such as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation, the Veteran Fund, and Saved In America.

Director of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications

C-Suite Executive Assistant | Strategic Calendar Management | Strong Business Acumen | Board Liaison | Complex Travel Arrangements | Cheerful Gatekeeper | Confidentiality/Discretion

With 15 years of experience as a Senior Executive Assistant and a background in Investor Relations, I have developed a polished, professional, passionate, and tenacious approach to supporting C-Suite Executives at companies in a variety of stages and industries. Most recently, as a Sr. Administrative Assistant at Bank of Montreal (formerly Bank of the West), I was a member of the Integration Management Office's Senior Leadership team where I organized and managed multiple projects simultaneously with a sense of urgency, attention to detail, efficiency, and the utmost confidentiality. 

Prior to making a career pivot to Senior Executive Administrative support, I performed the Investor Relations function at three southern California companies. My background in Investor Relations provides me with the ability to act as a strategic extension of my Executives and to use my strengths of resourcefulness, sophistication, resiliency, and interpersonal communication skills to help my Executives move their strategic initiatives to a successful conclusion. With a proven track record of working with multiple stakeholders, my Executives consider me to be a force multiplier, a unifier, and a "secret weapon" for their success. 

I am passionate about delivering exceptional service and value to my Executives and their teams, and I enjoy collaborating and working cross-functionally with diverse and talented professionals to achieve common goals. 

Lastly, I earned an Executive MBA degree and an ICAgile Certification in Agile Product Ownership, which demonstrate my commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
