“Burt’s got that perfect combination of big picture thinking and one-on-one approachability that makes him indispensable in our industry,” Evolved Novelties President Greg Alves said. “We’re excited to work with him on our next big phase of initiatives because we know he has so much to bring to the table. Plus, he rides a Harley, so we know no one will mess with him.”

Silverstein began his career in adult 30 years ago with Transworld News in Cleveland. He mostly recently worked a seven-year stint as a retail customer relations manager at Topco.

“I’m looking forward to working with the team at Evolved,” Silverstein said. “I’ll be diving right in at the ANME show mid-month, then we’ll create our strategy from there. I have a feeling it’s going to be a great fit.”
