New Leadership Team Members Join to Accelerate Oryx’s Growth

Earlier this year, Oryx added experienced vertical software as a service (SaaS) executive Tahlor DiCicco to the role of Chief Commercial Officer to oversee marketing, sales, partnerships, and people operations. Now, the company continues to build a top-tier leadership team with the appointment of three new executives:

• Karen Gray as Chief Customer Officer, overseeing the lifecycle of Oryx’s customer operations, including onboarding, customer success, training, support, and professional services
• Bryce Swihart as Vice President of Product, leading product management and strategy, UX, and cross-functional execution of Oryx’s product roadmap
• Mary Rountree as Vice President of Finance, heading up the company’s financial planning, accounting, strategy, and operations

“Oryx’s momentum this year has been extraordinary, and our decision to expand the leadership team reflects our commitment to growing and scaling responsibly without compromise,” said Rania Saleh, DDS, MSD, Oryx’s Founder and CEO. “Tahlor, Karen, Bryce, and Mary all bring deep operational experience that pairs perfectly with Oryx’s clinical roots and dental industry expertise. We’re thrilled to have each of them on board to continue bringing our all-in-one platform to more dentistry practices of all kinds, all around the world.”

Additional Marketing and Partnerships Additions Reinforce Oryx’s Dental Expertise

In addition to the new appointments to Oryx’s leadership team noted above, the company also continues to bring on experienced industry professionals with long-running ties to the dental community. Recently, the company has added:

• Yazmeen Fernandez as Head of Events & Community Marketing
• Collin Hatch as Head of Partnerships & Business Development

These new members of Oryx’s team bring nearly two decades of combined experience working with dental offices, DSOs, and other dental organizations, strengthening Oryx’s position as a clinically-rooted, customer-centric organization built for the future of dentistry.
