Early life and education
Eric Khoury was born into an Egyptian family in Toronto, Ontario. His parents immigrated to Canada from Egypt in their mid-20s. He spent his entire childhood and adolescence in Toronto, where he attended high school and university.

Khoury graduated from Crescent School (Toronto) in 2006, where he earned the "Young Alumni Excellence Award" for alumni who have distinguished themselves within 15 years of graduating from Crescent.

Later in life, Khoury went on to pursue and earn a BASc in aerospace engineering from the University of Toronto. Shortly after this, he began studying for a MASc in aerospace studies.

In the spring of 2012, Khoury was a Master’s student studying experimental fluid dynamics at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies. Later that year, Khoury's thesis "The Influence of End Conditions on Vortex Shedding from a Circular Cylinder in Sub-Critical Flow" earned him a MASc (2012).

Executive career
In late 2012, Khoury earned a one-year, unpaid internship with a consulting firm that was working with the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He worked mainly in the basketball analytics department for the 2012-13 NBA season.

In 2015, he was promoted to manager of basketball operations and analytics, with a focus on college basketball players.

In 2017, Khoury moved to the Raptors' bench, serving both as the director of analytics and as an assistant coach under Dwane Casey.

In 2018, Khoury was promoted from the Raptors' analytics department to the full-time coaching staff as an assistant under head coach Nick Nurse. In the 2018–19 NBA season, Khoury won his first championship when the Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA finals.
