CFO - AllDent Group (German market leader for dental clinics)
Nearing the end of a chapter, and what a journey it has been! 🚀 After nearly 6 incredible years at AllDent Zahnzentrum, I have decided it is time to move on to a next challenge and will be leaving the group after the summer. Looking back, I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. We transformed AllDent Zahnzentrum — which already possessed strong medical foundations and a clear concept — from a regional player with 4 clinics and ca. 400 employees into a national dental powerhouse with 20 clinics and more than 2.000 employees, delivering around 1 million dental treatments per year. And all of that achieved purely organically! But beyond the metrics and the milestones, what I will carry with me the most are the people I met along the way. Thank you to Castik Capital & Marc-Oliver Jauch, and AllDent's founders Dr. Dr. Ruben Stelzner and Dr. Matthias Stelzner for trusting me with this responsibility 6 years ago, despite me having zero prior experience in the healthcare sector. A special shoutout to Ivona Leventic —you have been an amazing colleague. Thank you for your endless patience and diligence in answering all my questions about AllDent and the #dental industry when I was just starting out. To the incredible teams I’ve had the privilege to lead and work with: - Steffen Albrecht and the #Finance team - Olivia Binz / Alexander Pfaus and the #Marketing team - Charles Maccarone and the #Recruiting team - Armon Biglari and the -small- #Procurement team - Christian M. and the #IT team I learned so much from all of you. You absolutely rock, and you should be immensely proud of what we achieved together! To our brilliant dentists and regional leads: you do an amazing job day in and day out. I have no doubt you will continue to crush it in the years to come. Dr. Aylin Schiering Dr. Anna Rautenberg Dr. Maria Steinmark Dr. Mahzad Arhami, M.Sc. Dr. Susan Izadi Dr. Karin Petz Alexander Glas Tamara Ramsauer Ulrike Gramlich In those years, I obiously didn't make everything (far from) perfect and couldn't bring everyone along this specific finish line. Thanks Ivana Hilgers, Max Scheuermann, Dirk Becker, Michael Rosenstock. You have also contributed to what AllDent became. Stefan Fritz Julius Pizzoni — you both know how much I owe you... thanks for your tireless support and constant nudge. Success like this is never a solo effort, so a huge thank you also goes out to our external partners who played a vital role in this endeavor. Freddie Light Patrick Schoennagel Konny Nökel Richard Siebek Colin Harley Steffen T. Tobias Kösters & their teams, alongside so many more... And finally, to the ones we don't talk about enough, but who are so important in the story of the group: Dr. Karsten Ritter-Lang, Katharina Helwig — STENUM Ortho GmbH is in very good hands! Let’s celebrate the 100 years of Stenum in a few weeks! 🍾 #MovingOn #NewHorizons #Gratitude #TeamWork #Leadership #Growth #AllDent #Healthcare
