He is a licensed active New Jersey attorney and Certified Public Accountant. Eric is responsible for the marketing, filing of rates, underwriting, claims, loss control, and litigation strategy for CURE.

Mr. Poe is credited as the outspoken catalyst and initial source of information on the topic of banning the use of education and occupation as income proxies in the car insurance industry. Mr. Poe’s influence has been instrumental in the ban of the industry practice in New York (2018) and Michigan (2019).

As a recognized commentator in the insurance field, Mr. Poe has testified on discriminatory rate setting practices twice before the United States House of Representatives (2008 and 2020), Committee on Financial Services (Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations) in Washington D.C. on the topic of insurance scoring, and the availability and affordability of insurance. He has also testified a combined six times before the New Jersey Senate and Assembly, including the New Jersey Senate Commerce Committee (October 2020), the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and the New Hampshire Legislature as well as presented to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Special Committee on Race and Insurance and National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL). In addition, Mr. Poe has appeared nationally on CNBC, Fox Business News, and regionally on ABC, CBS, NBC and WPHL as an authority in the field of insurance.

Mr. Poe was awarded NJBIZ’s “40 Under 40” award, recognizing him as one of the 40 most influential New Jersey business entrepreneurs under the age of 40. Poe regularly argues cases and has appeared several times before the New Jersey Supreme Court. In 2015, Mr. Poe successfully argued CURE v. Perez, before the New Jersey Supreme Court, overturning an Appellate Division decision. Additionally, in 2015, under Mr. Poe’s leadership, CURE was nominated as NJBIZ’s “Business of the Year.” He was also named as one of New Jersey Law Journal's Trailblazers in 2020 for his innovation and thought leadership in both the insurance and legal industries. In 2021, Mr. Poe was named to the ROI-NJ Influencers Power List of Executives and was recognized by NJBIZ as one of the “Leaders in Law” in New Jersey.
