Erik Dietrich, CEO of Hit Subscribe, has built a unique marketing business that helps companies reach software engineers authentically. Though he has an extensive background in the tech industry, ranging from programming and software architecture to CIO and IT management and strategy consulting, it was his prolific blogging and course creation that eventually led to software companies paying him to post on their blogs. This eventually birthed Hit Subscribe, which now focuses on enlisting engineers to write genuine content for content marketing purposes. Erik studied Computer Science at both Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, excelling in the latter with a 4.0 GPA. Prior to his current position, he founded IT Management and Strategy Consultant firm, DaedTech LLC, served as Chief Information Officer at CHC Wellness, worked at SWC Technology Partners as a Software Architect and Senior Consultant, held the position of Senior Software Engineer at GN ReSound, and worked as a Software Engineer for Bowe Bell + Howell.
