A single decision can set an entire industry on a new course. For Eric Gilbert, that moment came when he chose to see disruption not as a threat, but as a launchpad. As chief executive officer of FOH Productions and Roadcase.com, Gilbert didn’t just adapt to a changing live events landscape—he redefined it.
Over the past year, he spearheaded an ambitious initiative to design and build a first-of-its-kind broadcast flypack production system. This cutting-edge solution has already supported events on two continents and is poised to transform how remote productions operate. More than a technical feat, it represents Gilbert’s ability to anticipate needs before they surface—a trait that has earned him his place as a Titan 100 Honoree.
What fuels his forward momentum isn’t technology alone, but a philosophy that marries creativity with structure. At FOH Productions and Roadcase.com, he’s building an ecosystem that encourages experimentation while maintaining operational rigor. By standardizing production methodologies and formalizing team structures, Gilbert ensures consistency in delivery without stifling innovation. His leadership transforms chaos into choreography, helping clients bring their boldest visions to life on stage and screen.
Gilbert also remains deeply invested in his personal development. To reignite his passion, he immerses himself in projects that spark curiosity—often diving into entirely new technologies or methodologies with the vigor of a student. This habit of constant learning not only sharpens his edge but sets the tone for his teams. He shares this enthusiasm through storytelling, pulling from both past experiences and imagined scenarios to help others see possibilities they might have overlooked.
His biggest leadership lesson this year stemmed from a simple but powerful realization: Success isn’t always about pushing harder, but sometimes about pulling back. Gilbert learned to trust his team, lean into their expertise and resist the urge to solve every problem himself. That shift in mindset freed him to focus on strategic direction and gave others space to step into leadership roles of their own.
Mentorship is woven into the fabric of his work. Gilbert actively fosters growth by exposing younger team members to high-stakes environments and guiding them through complex problem-solving. He measures his impact by watching others surpass their own expectations—by how often they take initiative, make confident decisions and begin mentoring in turn.
The value Gilbert finds in the Titan 100 platform lies in connection—real conversations with fellow leaders who’ve walked different paths but share the same determination. It reminds him that greatness isn’t achieved in isolation, and that collective wisdom can fuel individual transformation.
From concept to execution, Gilbert’s influence stretches far beyond equipment or events. He’s designing infrastructure that elevates the entire industry while building a culture that empowers every contributor. With a keen eye for what’s next and a heart rooted in service, Gilbert’s leadership plays not just to the crowd—but to the future.
