Hi, I'm Eric
I'm Eric Jaffe, a technology executive based in Greater Philadelphia. For 26 years I've helped organizations put new technology to work, from Fortune 500 consulting at Accenture to integrating the $54B Cigna–Express Scripts merger.
Today I lead global technology, AI, and security programs, and I founded an enterprise AI program with Responsible AI governance. I've seen what makes AI stick in real companies: clear goals, the right tools, safe practices, and people who feel confident using them.
I started Promptly Taught to bring that experience to you. Whether you're trying your first AI tool or rolling AI out across a team, I'll teach you in plain English and have you building real things as you learn.
