An Operator’s Mindset.

Sill & Stone is led by Brian Lechlitner, a former COO with 24 years of experience in banking and technology operations.

Raised on a family farm in Indiana and now based in Ohio, Brian learned early that durability matters. That mindset shapes his approach to ownership: protect what works, strengthen what matters, and build for the long term.
