Chris Puco, vice president and managing director of North America, and Ritesh Sharma, managing director of Latin America, will report directly to Ms. Pendergrass. Chris Puco will remain a member of Align's executive management committee.

Pendergrass brings over 20 years' experience running global organizations across a range of industries including consumer, technology, industrial and pharmaceutical.

With our expansion into Brazil and greater Latin America, I felt it is important to bring all our activities in the Americas region under one leader, similar to our EMEA and APAC regions. I am very excited to introduce Lynn to the entire North America team as we kick off our momentum for the year ahead. She will be instrumental in creating a unified organization and strategy that builds on our success in North America and leverages our initial progress in Latin America to achieve the full potential that the Americas region represents."
