LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / January 7, 2025 / MainStreetChamber Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:MSCH), a leading global provider of intellectual property and brand licensing solutions, is pleased to announce the appointment of Anthony (Tony) Anish as the company's new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Tony Anish brings an impressive track record of financial leadership and business development. He previously founded and grew the London-based Anish and Co., Chartered Accountants, before selling his interest to two junior partners to join one of his clients, Performance Tire, Ltd., as CFO. During his tenure, Mr. Anish spearheaded the company's expansion into the U.S., driving sales from $2 million to $28 million in just two years.
Subsequently, Mr. Anish acquired Performance Tire's nine automotive retail stores, which he later sold to refocus on his accounting and finance expertise. Over his extensive career, he provided business finance for companies through equipment leasing and asset-based lending from his Orange County, California office. Additionally, Mr. Anish consulted on multiple reverse mergers, facilitated business financing for both private and public companies, and successfully guided private companies through the full registration process to go public.
Mr. Anish received his Chartered Accounting degree after articling with Percy Phillips and Co., a prestigious London-based firm.
"Tony's exceptional experience in accounting, business finance, and public company leadership makes him an invaluable addition to MainStreet Chamber Holdings," said Larry Kozin, MSCH Founder & CEO. "We are thrilled to have Tony on board to help guide our strategic growth and financial objectives."
As part of this leadership transition, Rabbi Jeffrey Rubinstein, who has served as the company's CFO since its inception, will transition to a key role as a Board Member and Secretary of MSCH. "We are deeply grateful for Rabbi Rubinstein's significant contributions and leadership throughout the years and look forward to his continued service on our Board," added Kozin.
In addition, John Bellave, who previously held the role of Secretary, will remain on the Board of Directors and continue serving as CEO of Advanced Licensing, a wholly owned subsidiary of MSCH. Advanced Licensing has been instrumental in driving MSCH's innovation and growth in licensing solutions across various industries.
This enhanced leadership team underscores MainStreet Chamber Holdings' commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and future expansion.
