About Eric V. Kennedy

A Quarter-Century of Diverse Experience

Eric V. Kennedy started his career in 1985 at the age of 19 when he joined the launch of the internationally renowned consumer publication duPont REGISTRY.

A top producing advertising account executive, Eric, made the company's "Million Dollar Club" by the age of 23. With an early addiction to technology, he actually loved being known as a "computer geek," and lead the company into the information age with the company's first network based sales management systems. Later, at the age of 27, he was appointed Executive Vice-President.

The duPont REGISTRY offered a very diverse career path for Eric where he worked in many roles as Editor-in-Chief, President of dupontregistry.com, and headed up the launch of new titles. He also served on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Under Eric’s guidance as Editor-in-Chief, the duPont REGISTRY launched their Gallery of Fine Homes which was recognized in 1995 as one of the 50 most noteworthy launches by Hearst Magazine Enterprises. There were nearly 900 titles launched that year.
