In this newly created role at Pearle, a division of the retail group of Luxottica (NYSE: LUX), "Jason’s mandate will be to make Pearle Vision the business partner of choice for ODs who want to prosper as owners of neighborhood practices," a Luxottica spokesperson said. In his new role, Singh will report to Pete Bridgman, SVP and general manager of Pearle Vision.

Working across the Pearle Vision organization, Singh will be charged with building "a cohesive program of standards and resources—including everything from eyecare to equipment to billing— that Pearle ODs need to deliver a consistently excellent clinical experience," the spokesperson said.
