BIOLASE Chairman George V. d'Arbeloff said, "Greg has the experience and business acumen that will make him a valuable contributor to the strategic advancement of BIOLASE. As we move forward with expansion from the dental industry into new markets, his background, particularly as the former Chief Financial Officer of a $700 million plus international dental business, makes him uniquely capable of delivering advice and governance oversight to the Company.
