In a highly competitive cutlery industry, Sola has earned its strong reputation by consistently offering high-quality products at fair prices.<\/p><p>Outside of work I cherish time with my children, enjoy all kinds of ball sports, and love to read.<\/p><p>My favorite Sola cutlery model is Aura. I was looking for a new 18\/10 pattern to use at home, and my children immediately loved the design \u2014 it also has a robust, high-quality feel that I particularly appreciate.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-200x250.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-1200x1500.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-1600x2000.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/sola-cutlery.com\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Michael-5-8-2025-1-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure><script>function getWR360PopupSkin(){return 'light_clean';}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been leading the Sales Hospitality team at Sola since May 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":28919,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1833],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meet-the-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
