'AI is more than software': Why 1 exec joined Pearl

Pearl, an artificial intelligence dental software company, has appointed Marc Watenmaker as the new vice president of sales to support the company's expansion in the U.S. dental market.

Mr. Watenmaker has over 20 years experience in sales for dental and business-to-business software companies, according to a March 24 news release.

"I've been fortunate to spearhead business growth at several dental software companies, but AI is more than software and I expect its utility to extend into every corner of the dental field," Mr. Watenmaker said.

"I see its application in dental practices as the real game change, however. That's what attracted me to Pearl: It is the only company delivering fully-baked, FDA-cleared clinical and practice management AI solutions that dentists and practices can use safely and effectively today. AI is making this an exciting time for dental professionals and patients––and I'm honored to be joining the company most responsible for the excitement," Mr. Watenmaker said.

The FDA recently cleared Peal's flagship AI platform, Second Opinion.

"Marc comes to Pearl at a crucial moment in the company's growth and we're thrilled to welcome someone who possesses not only the skills but also the passion to bring this capability to patient care globally," said Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl.
