A communications veteran joins during expansion
According to the company's announcement, Silberman reports to Sol Managing Partner Kaan Aslansan and will be based in New York. He will own Sol's brand, marketing and communications strategy end to end. The remit covers positioning and narrative, earned media, content and thought leadership, digital presence, internal communications and reputation management, with the work tied to pipeline and growth.
Sol says he arrives during the firm's fastest period of expansion. It has built out a dedicated AI Acceleration practice under Steve Miller, formerly Chief Digital Officer at Xerox, with former Xerox CEO Steven Bandrowczak as senior advisor. The practice takes clients from diagnosis to live agentic systems. Sol also recently launched its first industry-aligned practice, Media, Entertainment and AdTech, under newly appointed practice lead Ashley J. Swartz.
Silberman's background in media
At A+E Global Media, Silberman led media relations, corporate and internal communications, crisis management, social strategy and talent relations for The HISTORY Channel, A&E Network, A+E Factual Studios and the Oscar-winning feature division A&E IndieFilms. Sol says those brands reach more than 400 million households across 200 territories.
Earlier, at NBCUniversal, he led press and publicity for Bravo Media. According to Sol, he oversaw a full rebrand from the network's performing-arts roots, launched Queer Eye and Project Runway, and helped turn the network into a pop-culture phenomenon. He began his career at Rubenstein Communications and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics & Law from Binghamton University.
He has been named to The Hollywood Reporter's Next Gen list and Multichannel News' 40 Under 40, received the CableFAX Award for PR Executive of the Year, and serves on the Board of Directors of LMC Media.
What Sol and Silberman say
"We've built Sol on the strength of our delivery. Now we're investing in making sure the market knows it," said Aslansan. He added that Silberman "has built and defended brands under genuine public scrutiny, at a scale most firms never touch."
Silberman said that "Sol is competing with firms several times its size and winning, which is the rare case where the story is sitting right there waiting to be told." He added: "I want Sol to be the name people already know when we walk in the room."
About Sol and what the hire signals
Sol was founded in 2020 and is led by Managing Partners Kaan Aslansan, Daniel Gavula and Carl Graves. It describes itself as a technology-agnostic firm that uses AI to redesign how companies operate. Its services include enterprise AI strategy, agentic AI implementation, workflow modernization and workforce transformation, with a core focus on Media, Entertainment & AdTech, as well as state and local government and education (SLED).
The company says its Sprint 0 discovery process pairs practitioners with SAGE, its proprietary AI engine, to deliver implementation-ready plans in four to eight weeks rather than the three to six months traditional discovery takes. The hire shows Sol putting dedicated resources into its public profile just as its Media, Entertainment and AdTech practice scales, a sector where Silberman has two decades of experience.
