Episode notes
Episode Summary In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked drivers of success inside dental groups: the human architecture behind the leadership team. While DSOs invest heavily in equipment, digital tools and infrastructure, very few measure the psychological and behavioural alignment of the people responsible for scaling the organisation. Soma Pirityi, Forbes 30 Under 30, VC-turned-founder and CEO of Etter Technologies, joins us to break down how psychometric AI is transforming investment decisions, organisational performance and board-level dynamics. With over 10,000 startup teams analysed and 150 top-tier investors interviewed, Soma exposes why 70% of leadership teams are fundamentally misaligned without realising it . For dental CEOs, PE-backed groups and high-growth operators, this conversation reframes how you think about team chemistry, succession, roll-ups and valuation.
