“I was Ekow's business partner at Aspen Dental (ADMI) while he was Vice President of Strategic Innovation and Insights. We regularly interacted on projects, typically where Ekow brought forward new products or services to the company, and our team's job was to attempt to measure how successful those products or services were. While the dental industry is not typically known as being very innovative, Ekow changed the paradigm and brought forward a lot of very forward thinking concepts. Ekow was extremely focused on the patient experience and developed some great concepts like Aspen TV (where we were able to simultaneously entertain patients in the waiting room while receiving supplemental advertising revenue from vendors). Additionally, Ekow spearheaded the "dental practice of the future" concept, which included all aspects of what a modern dental practice could look like. This included all signage and branding layouts, as well as things like interactive features and other welcoming aspects to get patients in a comfortable mindset just prior to their appointments. This was especially important to our patients, given that going to the dentist is often a stressful, unwelcome experience for many people. Ekow was a major asset to Aspen Dental, and any company would be lucky to have him leading initiatives such as these. ”
