“OrthoAccel is a market leader in accelerated orthodontic technology and I am delighted to lead the company’s next phase of growth and innovation,” said Josza. “This is an exciting stage in OrthoAccel’s trajectory and, based on the feedback of orthodontists and patients who have experienced the new AcceleDent Optima, there is significant opportunity for growth ahead for this best-in-class treatment technology.”

Josza most recently served as corporate vice president and general manager for Zimmer Biomet Dental, a leading global manufacturer of musculoskeletal devices. He joined Zimmer in 2015 when the company acquired his previous firm, Biomet, Inc., and Josza was tapped to lead the complex acquisition integration. Among his accomplishments, he successfully implemented synergistic cost-saving initiatives and cross-selling opportunities that yielded significant profit increases and growth.

Prior to the acquisition, Josza had a 14-year career at Biomet 3i, a global implant and oral reconstructive supplier, most recently serving as vice president of the Americas. As a member of the executive board, he was responsible for developing and delivering the company’s annual strategic plan.

Additional accomplishments at Biomet included developing and leading a variety of significant revenue growth initiatives, including capturing the market leader position in Latin America. Another key accomplishment was the commercialization of a new digital product line, with a specialized sales team and a technical service support function that grew incremental revenue by $2 million in its first year.

In addition to his leadership roles at Zimmer and Biomet, Josza’s in-depth experience includes previous business development, strategic planning and management responsibilities at Henry Schein, Inc. and Stryker Corporation.  

“We are excited to welcome David and recognize that his in-depth experience in dental and medical industries, combined with his many successes as a strategist and business developer, provide an excellent leadership platform for his role at OrthoAccel Technologies,” said Brian R. Smith, chairman of OrthoAccel’s board of directors and managing director of S3Ventures.

The leader in accelerated orthodontics, OrthoAccel has received numerous business and medical design awards that reflect the company’s success in commercializing its patented SoftPulse Technology® for clinical application. AcceleDent has been recognized as the preferred accelerated orthodontic treatment solution by orthodontists participating in surveys conducted by industry journals Orthotown and the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics.
