His breadth of experience, strategic judgment, and commitment to advancing patient care will be tremendous assets to Align as we continue to shape the future of digital dentistry around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Blackford currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of iRhythm Technologies, a leading digital healthcare company focused on advancing cardiac care. He has served in this role since 2021. Before joining iRhythm, Mr. Blackford served as Chief Operating Officer of Dexcom, where he helped lead the company\u2019s global operations, corporate strategy, and international growth initiatives. Previously, he held senior finance and leadership positions at NuVasive and Zimmer Holdings. Mr. Blackford currently serves on the board of Alphatec Holdings and is a Certified Public Accountant (inactive). He earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting and Business Administration from Grace College.<\/p>\n<p>\nSince joining the Board in 2013, Ms. Saia has played an important role in supporting Align&#8217;s growth and transformation as a global medical device and digital dentistry leader. Her insights and counsel have contributed to the Board&#8217;s oversight of the Company&#8217;s strategic priorities, governance practices, and long-term growth initiatives. The Board and management team extend their sincere appreciation for her dedicated service and many contributions to Align.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Andrea has been an exceptional member of our Board and a trusted advisor to management,&#8221; said Joe Hogan, president and CEO of Align Technology. &#8220;Her deep expertise, thoughtful counsel, and unwavering commitment to strong governance have helped guide Align through a period of significant growth and innovation. On behalf of the Board and the entire Align team, I want to thank Andrea for her many contributions and years of dedicated service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Blackford will be included in the company\u2019s slate of director nominees in the proxy statement for Align\u2019s 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In connection with Mr. Blackford\u2019s appointment, the Board increased its size to 11 directors.
