“This is an exciting step for Silent R to expand our business. When we first decided to grow we knew that this evolution depended on finding managers who shared our core belief: that good taste and creative fulfillment matter more than bottom-line thinking. Lee’s energy, taste and passion will be a great asset, and frankly, we are lucky to have found him,” said Ross.
