Jennifer L Davis will succeed Joseph M Hogan as president and chief executive officer of Align Technology at the end of 2026.
Align Technology Inc announced that its board of directors has appointed Jennifer L Davis as the company’s next president and chief executive officer, effective December 31, 2026. Davis will succeed Joseph M Hogan, who has served as president and chief executive officer since 2015.
Leadership Transition and Background
Davis brings 33 years of experience to the role, having most recently served as chief executive officer of Procter & Gamble’s global healthcare business. In that position, she managed strategy, portfolio innovation, and operations across a multibillion-dollar portfolio of oral-health and personal-health brands.
She will join Align as CEO-elect and a member of the board of directors on November 2, 2026, working closely with Hogan during a transition period before officially assuming her new responsibilities.
“Jen’s experience building trusted consumer-healthcare brands and leading oral-health businesses provides relevant expertise as Align seeks to extend the Invisalign brand and expand its role in digital oral health,” says Kevin Conroy, chairman of Align’s board of directors, in a release. “Her experience complements Align’s deep clinical, scientific, engineering and software expertise, and the board is confident she is the right leader to help extend the impact of our technology, digital workflows and brands for doctors and patients around the world.”
Hogan to Step Down
Following his resignation as chief executive officer, Hogan will retire as a member of the board of directors after the conclusion of a strategy meeting on June 16, 2027.
“Leading Align has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career,” says Hogan, in a release. “Align is exceptionally well positioned to lead that evolution, with a strong leadership team, a powerful innovation engine, trusted relationships with doctors around the world, and significant opportunities to expand the impact of the Invisalign System, iTero solutions, exocad software, and the Align Digital Platform.”
“The company has transformed orthodontics and dentistry through technology, clinical excellence, and deep partnerships with doctors, while building one of the most trusted and recognized brands in dentistry,” says Davis, in a release. “I look forward to learning from Align’s talented employees, listening to the doctors who trust us to help them deliver exceptional care to their patients, and engaging with our partners and shareholders as we continue to grow and strengthen the company.”
