Colton Eicher Holds a Master of Liberal Arts in Management as well as a Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Economics with Honors, cum laude, and Dean's List recognition from Harvard University.

Colton's research experience spans various areas, including economics, finance, and community development. As a researcher, he contributed to the publication of two reports focused on addressing the economic challenges faced by communities, particularly in the city of Hartford. His research involved extensive data collection and analysis, examining key indicators such as crime rates, poverty levels, education statistics, and employment data to understand the potential for economic and community renewal.

Colton's other work involves the analysis of the socioeconomic implications of investment banking work culture. His work explores the internal cultures of Wall Street’s largest financial institutions and how their definitions of what constitutes job meaningfulness and employee wellbeing may be responsible for a broader decline in "meaningful work." It draws upon credible sources to investigate the self-destructive internal cultures and values of Wall Street banks and how their proximity and significance to the market, position these firms as the drivers of corporate value (or lack thereof) for wellbeing at work.
