He commented, “I am delighted to be rejoining Hilco Vision to drive the commercial aspects of the business. After spending 7 years at Hilco in my 1st role in Optics from 1995 – 2002, I have been lucky to have learnt from some of the best leaders and operators in the industry in companies such as Bausch and Lomb, Optos, Heidelberg, Visionix and more recently with Occuity. Returning to Hilco feels like coming home and I am excited to working with the team to ensure that Hilco Vision remains the leading provider of accessories, lens care, dry eye solutions and lab parts globally.”
“Bringing Mike in to lead the Commercial Operation in the UK and Ireland is an exciting move for the business. During Mike’s earlier time with the Company, we were focused on meeting optical needs. Today we go well beyond this heritage with medical and technology solutions for practices. Mike’s broad experience positions us well to support eye care professionals across our entire portfolio.” said Ross Brownlee, CEO of Hilco Vision.
