Dandy Leadership & Management

Which metric or milestone best captures strength this year — and why is it credible?

Dandy is using technology and vertically integrating to provide a best-in-class, truly digital dental lab experience. The metric that I think about is our speed of innovation, which we call “Dandy Speed.” Dandy is unparalleled at going from idea to execution, meaning we bring customers amazing new features faster than anywhere else. 

In October, we launched our own scanner, Dandy Vision, and in February, we launched the Dandy Cart, our all-in-one workstation. Judge us by how fast we’re shipping!

Where are you strongest competitively — and what proof backs that?

Customers love Dandy because of how seamless and connected the experience is. Our competitive advantage is our unique ability to build world-class technology-enabled experiences in dentistry. Take AI Scan Review, which uses machine learning to provide real-time scanning feedback to the dentist while the patient is in the chair. It prevents errors that would have traditionally required another patient visit and is unique to Dandy.

What expansion bet excites you — and which leading indicator will you watch?

I’m biased, as I lead our international expansion, but 2026 is the year Dandy goes global! We launched in the United Kingdom in January. We will launch in Australia, France and Spain very shortly and have more countries to come later this year. While we track our speed to enter new markets, the most important leading indicator we watch is how customers activate across their first five orders. This engagement metric shows the trust we’ve built through onboarding and whether customers are excited about the product.
