Hilco Vision has appointed Mike Riley as head of operations for the UK and Ireland, who rejoined the company after a stint from 1995 to 2002.
Riley has over 25 years of experience in optometry and ophthalmology in sales, marketing and account management roles.
Ross Brownlee, CEO of Hilco Vision, said: ‘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.’
Since Riley’s first role in optics at Hilco, he has worked for Bausch + Lomb, Optos, Heidelberg, Visioniz and 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,’ Riley said.
