Mr. Paul Vigario, CEO of Digital Smile Design (DSD), and Dr. Christian Coachman, founder of DSD, along with the company's executive board, have announced the appointment of Mr. Mark Maier as Chief Operating Officer of DSD Global and CEO of DSD Lab Corp.
Maier will work hand-in-hand with Vigario in the execution of DSD Global’s extensive offering of products and services. In parallel, Maier will take the helm of DSD Lab Corporation, which will be responsible for providing all of DSD’s laboratory and digital production services as well as clinical, lab and consumer DSD-branded products. Maier is also the CEO and President of The Aurum Group and Chairman of Core3dcentres International.
"I am thrilled to appoint Mark to this important role as we accelerate our transition into a full-fledged global company. No one understands the transformation occurring in the dental industry more than Mark, and it's critical that our Chief Operating Officer has a strong digital foundation as we expedite DSD's global reach," Vigario said.
Dr. Coachman added: “With an extensive background in finance, private equity, entrepreneurship, and executive leadership, Mark brings a suite of unique skills to our team that can help propel DSD Global to continue to be a leading provider of comprehensive interdisciplinary dental solutions worldwide. Along with Mark comes the pedigree, depth, and breadth of The Aurum Group and Core3dcentres that is required to help deliver on our vision. Paul, the board and I are very excited to have Mark as part of the executive leadership team.”
Maier said the formation of DSD Global is the culmination of extensive strategic planning to bring leading companies and thought leaders together to create a powerhouse platform of distinct business verticals that can both - individually and collectively - provide clinics and labs the systems, tools, and know-how to deliver comprehensive digital dentistry to patients. “Never before has there been a time where clinically, technically and financially we can offer dental patients a full spectrum of comprehensive solutions that meet their clinical needs and financial needs," he said. "DSD is the fulcrum of this capability. It is an honor and a privilege to be chosen to be part of this exceptional team.”
