"I've been working for twenty three years in the New York market and Network Brokers has built a reputation that is well-respected and admired. Although competitors for years, I have been friends with Judy and Trisha and know the way they lead their employees and work on behalf of their customers is identical to how I have focused on leading Sobel. This merger will bring together two like-minded companies who have unlimited upward potential."
