Meet Dr. Ro
Clinician-operator. Platform builder.
He brings something most GTM leaders can't: he's sat in the chair, run the practice, built the DSO, and advised the fund. 20+ years on both sides of the table, building healthcare platforms as a clinician-operator and advising PE firms on how to make them more valuable.
He founded Great Lakes Dental Partners in 2008, growing it from a single practice to 35 offices, 100+ dentists, and $60M+ in revenue before a PE recapitalization in 2015. He then built Walmart Health's dental division from launch, scaling it to 48 locations across 4 states and 70%+ of aggregate topline revenue while managing a $20M+ annualized budget.
In 2022, as President & CEO of dntl bar, a struggling NYC-based DSO, he delivered 360% revenue growth, an 88 NPS, and expansion from 3 to 5 locations in 7 months. At VIVA Pediatric Healthcare he reversed a 12%+ YoY decline and championed a $25M PE family-office investment. Most recently, as CRO at RipeGlobal, he built the US GTM engine from zero, signing 28 enterprise accounts in 8 months.
