   Mr. Silver’s professional career includes a combination of institutional and entrepreneurial experiences and has held a variety of positions in finance and operations at a diversified portfolio of both public and private companies. From 1992 until 2001, he worked for Ronald Perelman’s holding company, MacAndrews and Forbes, Inc, where he worked in a variety of capacities at the M&F companies. In 2002, he started a company, Silvermark, in the housewares industry that he built and successfully divested in late 2011. Subsequent to selling his company, after fulfilling his responsibilities to the acquiring firm and doing consulting in the private equity industry, Mr. Silver started Prisma Imaging™ in 2016. His motivation to start Prisma was to develop a solution that addressed the deficiencies that exist in the equine imaging market, his desire to create a new beneficial technology, and his attraction to the contagious passion that exists within the equine industry. Mr. Silver is committed to Prisma for the long-term, beyond the equine market and into the next phase of potential expanded industries that will become viable as Prisma’s technology advances. Prior to 1992, Mr. Silver worked in a number of areas in the real estate industry, including property management, sales, and syndication.
