Bio
Bruce Lorange
Having started my professional career in Japan with Silman at my side, I can't say enough about his personal character, ability as a manager, understanding of the Japanese market, and ability to navigate brilliantly within the Japanese and international business community. I lost count of how many languages he speaks years ago, and have never met anyone more adept at entertaining clients or managing professional relationships. Silman gets the highest recommendation from me that I can give, both as a solid business leader and fantastic individual.
