A staunch proponent of personal development, Goddard's track record includes implementing employee learning programs and advanced leadership initiatives within and outside of the Glidewell organization.

"With all that we're doing in an effort to improve the lives of dentists and their patients, I could use another hand at the helm," Glidewell said in a company news release. "Stephenie's strategic focus and ability to bring people together to orchestrate successful change has been critical to our success," he added.
