With over 30 years of executive leadership across global corporations and high-growth startups, Eric Wilmot has served as Business Unit Leader, COO, and CEO in organizations spanning the medical device, aerospace, consumer goods, and industrial sectors. His career is defined by one consistent theme: leading transformation where it matters most—at the intersection of strategy, operations, and innovation.

​

Eric founded Hildurcrest Group to address a recurring challenge he witnessed across industries: the absence of cohesive, empathic leadership during periods of change. Whether navigating a merger, responding to market disruption, or scaling operations to meet demand, companies often struggle to align cross-functional teams and execute with clarity.

Hildurcrest Group was built to solve that.

​

We partner with leadership teams to:

• Bridge strategic and operational silos across Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, Quality, and Manufacturing

• Diagnose root-cause issues and develop actionable, data-driven strategies for turnaround and growth

• Deploy hands-on project leadership to alleviate bandwidth constraints and accelerate execution

• Embed continuous improvement frameworks for sustained performance and cultural alignment

 

Eric’s approach is grounded in real-world experience. He has led automation and digital transformation initiatives across $20M–$250M enterprises, delivered 15%+ cost savings through smart factory design, and revitalized underperforming operations to achieve double-digit EBITDA growth. With over 18 patents and a track record of launching global innovation and transformation initiatives, Eric brings both technical depth and strategic foresight to every engagement.

At Hildurcrest, we don’t just advise—we integrate, lead, and deliver measurable results.
