Reno Rolle's Early Career & Product Development
In 1986, Reno Rolle and his wife Lynn founded their first company Rollé Ltd. in Long Beach Island, New Jersey. During their first few years as entrepreneurs they created the Rollé Blanket and made their first major sale to one of Donald Trump’s Casinos.

Reno negotiated and managed contracts with HSN which spanned marketing, distribution, production, and talent signing. He also oversaw new business development and handled logistics for media, development, and regulation compliance. While at HSN Direct, Reno Rollé launched a number of successful infomercial/product campaigns, most notably was the Ab Isolator, which sold over $100 Million of product.
In 1997, Reno left HSN Direct to become a co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Synergy Worldwide, a product engineering, design, and marketing company. In September 2000, Synergy received an R&D 100 Award for Reno Rolle’s invention The Spin Fryer.

Under Reno Rolle’s council, Trudeau’s book “Natural Cures they Don’t Want You to Know About” held the #1 spot on New York Times’ Best Seller list for several weeks and millions of copies sold. Unfortunately, Reno was forced to resign due to concerns regarding Trudeau’s over-zealous health claims after just one year.
