Tom Stratton, who joined Zest in October 2018, has 26 years of experience in the global dental industry and a successful track record of expanding global sales and improving profitability. Tom most recently served as President of Implant Direct, a company within the Danaher Corporation where he oversaw profit and loss and led the company to finishing as Danaher’s top growth business in three of his five years as President. Before that, Tom served as President of DEKA Laser Technologies, Inc. Tom has also held executive positions with Zimmer Dental (formerly Sulzer Medical) and Dentsply International.
“I want to thank Steve for his leadership and contributions to the company,” said Tom. “Zest has an impressive team with a proven track record of producing world class full-arch dental solutions leading to consistent growth. I am excited to embark on the company’s next phase of growth, along with the rest of the Zest team. Looking ahead, we will work to further enhance growth opportunities, introduce new products and services that serve our partners and customers, as well as explore new avenues for accelerated growth across new market segments and geographies.”
“When I joined Zest as President and CEO in 2010, my top priorities were to build a strong and capable team and expand the product portfolio, while extending the global reach of our flagship LOCATOR Attachment System," said Steve. "With these objectives achieved, I am ready to step back and hand operations over to the person most qualified to help Zest continue its growth trajectory, and I am confident that Tom is the right person to continue Zest’s strong momentum.”
