Dr. Ron Blum has had great success in building diverse management teams needed to develop products as well as executing business strategies. He is a visionary, innovator and businessman who contributed to the development of Optics and Ophthalmics in North America. He founded The Egg Factory, LLC (Egg Factory) in 1999 and served as Chairman, CEO and President until it became a holding company in 2014.
The Egg Factory is one of the oldest and most prolific innovation companies focused on Optics and Ophthalmics in North America. Since approximately 2013, Egg Factory is that of a holding company. The company presently owns equity positions in its Eggs (young companies).
Four of the Eggs of The Egg Factory have been acquired or licensed by Global Billion Dollar Companies; Encore Health and Encore Vision LLC (merged in 2016 and the merged entity was purchased in early 2017 by Novartis), IP of Refine Focus was acquired by Essilor in 2015, High Performance Optics IP was licensed to Essilor in 2013, and Innotech (was purchased out of the NASDAQ in 1996 by Johnson & Johnson). Following Egg Factory becoming a holding company in 2014, Dr. Blum founded two new companies. PogoTec Inc. and BeautiEyes LLC. Dr. Blum also led and managed the team that invented and developed the Definity (Progressive Addition Lens). The Definity Lens was acquired in 2005 by Essilor (the largest lens manufacturer in the world) and quickly became the number one selling digitally surfaced progressive addition lens in North America at that time.
Though he is known for being an innovator and businessman, Dr. Blum takes pride in being a family man. He enjoys being a husband, father, and grandfather.
