The Need
Optimizing Dental Business’s Leadership

The Challenge
Navigating Complex Operations
|
The business needed the rare COO capable of managing six regional managers, each overseeing a cluster of dental clinics. Additionally, the C-suite executive needed to address specific requirements such as inventory management, customer relationship management, advertising and P&L responsibilities. Identifying an executive proficient in dental healthcare operations while possessing the aptitude for process optimization added to the complexity. |
