Brian Davis is Co-CEO and a member of the Board of Directors at Flamingo Marine, where he leads commercial strategy, business development, investor relations, and execution. With a passion for bringing big ideas to life and building lasting partnerships, Brian plays a key role in shaping Flamingo’s business model and growth trajectory.
Before launching Flamingo, Brian was a co-founder, Vice President, and Board Member at Seven Marine, where he helped lead the company from startup to successful acquisition. At Seven, he managed everything from operations and sales to customer support and capital strategy, overseeing both investor engagement and the ultimate sale of the company.
Earlier in his career, Brian worked in strategic software sales and business development at Parametric Technology Corporation, where he gained valuable experience in complex solution selling and global account management.
He holds a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florida but has spent his career at the intersection of engineering, entrepreneurship, and business strategy.
Outside the office, Brian races a vintage Elva Courier, coaches youth hockey, and enjoys time on the water with family and friends.

Eric Davis is Co-CEO and a member of the Board at Flamingo, where he leads everything from technology and manufacturing to brand strategy, business development, and supply chain. He brings a hands-on, inventive mindset to every corner of the company; always pushing for better ideas, better products, and better experiences.
Before launching Flamingo, Eric co-founded Seven Marine and served as Vice President, helping to redefine performance in the outboard engine space. He also ran Davis Engineering, an innovation consultancy that gave him a front-row seat to real-world problem solving across the marine industry.
Eric is a prolific inventor, with more than 75 U.S. and international patents to his name. He earned his first outboard motor patent at just 13 years old, and he’s been building and rethinking how things work ever since.
Though he left engineering school early to pursue entrepreneurship, he never stopped learning, experimenting, or improving. Whether it’s re-imagining a pontoon hull, designing for real user needs, or streamlining manufacturing, Eric brings a customer-first, out-of-the-box approach to everything he touches.
On weekends, you'll usually find him cheering on his kids at a ski tournament, gymnastics meet, or hockey game; still full throttle, just in the stands.
