Ed Heberlein

Vice President | Detroit Practice Lead

I am responsible for Centric’s Detroit Operating Group and have over 20 years of consulting and client management experience. I strive to be a continuous learner, a humble leader and a strategic thinker.

After beginning my career with Cisco Systems and Accenture, I came to Centric in 2002 as a project manager and proceeded to lead Centric’s Energy and Utilities team for many years.

I believe dedication, flexibility, transparency and empathy build the most successful client partnerships.

Education

B.S. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin – Madison.

Get to Know Me

I am a husband of 14 years and blessed with two wonderful children. I enjoy being active in my community, have coached youth sports for several years, and sit on the board for a local swim and tennis club. I enjoy being outside whenever possible. I’m an avid runner, cyclist, tennis player, skier and amateur photographer.

I look forward to spending time with my family, especially vacationing “Up North” in Michigan during all seasons!

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

Starting the day with a positive thought can change everything.

What’s the best trip you’ve ever taken and why?

Every trip feels like the best. Recently, I took a ski trip to Colorado with my family. My children are of the age where, for the first time, we could ski together as peers, occasionally their skills even surpassing mine. That was a great experience.

What energizes you and brings you excitement?

Learning something new and building new relationships in the process.

I am excited, every day, about learning from the brilliant and caring team of people that make up Centric. I love the ease with which we collaborate here, the underlying trust and respect for every employee, and the continuous focus on what matters most for our clients.
