“I am proud and excited to return to the CEO role at Sterling,” said Greenblatt. “We’re the best team in the industry, with the strongest balance sheet, and the biggest commitment to innovation… bar none. The opportunity to work with clients to re-invent the industry we invented was too good to pass on. I couldn’t resist coming back,” he continued.
