Silver Lake named Miles Flint, a 25-year veteran of the technology industry, as senior advisor.

Flint, 54 years old, was most recently president of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. Flint, who left Sony Ericsson in November 2007, is credited strong gains in both revenue and profit, with sales doubling and profits tripling during his tenure.

Silver Lake, whose bread-and-butter is technology investments, houses its main offices in Menlo Park, Calif., and New York.
