"I have worked with Nick for nearly two decades. He has extensive experience in the healthcare sector as an investor and as a member of a number of boards in the industry, including Sirona Dental Systems, Inc.," said Mark Thierer, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Dentsply Sirona. "Nick will be an outstanding leader and business partner focusing on capital deployment, operating leverage expansion, and potential acquisitions."

In addition, the Company announced that Keith Ebling joins as EVP, General Counsel & Secretary, also reporting to Mark Thierer. He replaces Jonathan Friedman who resigned from the Company.

Mr. Ebling comes to Dentsply Sirona from Express Scripts Holding Company, a $100 billion integrated pharmacy benefit management company.
