“As the dental marketplace continues to evolve, it is imperative that dental manufacturers such as Pulpdent implement the right mix of sales activities to maintain and improve market share,” says Pulpdent Managing Director Lew Berk. “With deep experience in dental field sales, dental sales team management, and strategic dental sales initiatives, Tate is an exceptional addition to the Pulpdent team. We are confident that the skills Tate brings to Pulpdent will have an immediate impact, be appreciated by our loyal customers, and help further strengthen the company’s bottom line.”
Prior to joining Pulpdent, Roark served as Director – Dental Sales for Alpheon Credit, a patient financing company. Roark also served as Director of Strategic Markets for Voco America, Inc., Regional Manager for Henry Schein, and District Manager for Sybron Dental Specialties/Kerr.
“Pulpdent is admired in the dental industry, both domestically and globally, as a premier dental product manufacturer, technology researcher, and sales leader,” says Roark. “I’m thrilled to join the Pulpdent corporate team and build upon its strong sales legacy. Its foundation has been cemented by 70-plus years quality and innovation —particularly in the last 10 years, when Pulpdent introduced the world to modern-day bioactive dental products.”
Roark will be assuming the role previously held by Marcy Buckler, who is retiring. “We at Pulpdent have so much for which to thank Marcy,” says Berk. “Without her efforts, we could never have grown Pulpdent to become the leader it is today in the competitive space of dental materials. I speak for the entire Berk family and so many of my Pulpdent colleagues when I say that we are forever grateful for Marcy’s service. We wish her a joyful and active retirement.”
