Throughout his career, Santos has been recognized as an industry leader and educator. He holds more than 13 irrigation and water management certifications, has served on numerous industry boards and advisory committees, and is an active instructor for ReScape California and Las Positas College. In 2025, he was inducted into the Green Industry Hall of Fame.

“Eric’s expertise, leadership, and passion for water efficiency are a strong match for HydroPoint’s mission,” says Paul Ciandrini, chief operating officer. “As we scale our solutions and expand our impact, his leadership will be instrumental in helping our customers succeed and in advancing smart water management across the industry.”
