Campion expressed confidence in Cueto’s ability to lead the company’s financial operations: “Herman brings deep financial acumen, operational expertise and an understanding of the global healthcare sector. We are confident he will help our talented finance team remain focused on executing against our strategic priorities while we take the time necessary to thoroughly evaluate candidates for the permanent position.”

Cueto succeeds Glenn Coleman, who resigned in November to assume an executive position at healthcare improvement company Premier. Coleman had served as CFO since September 2022, after the departure of Jorge Gomez in May 2022.

Cueto’s appointment comes as the company navigates ongoing challenges, including a criminal investigation by German authorities into its intercompany loans. In November 2022, Dentsply Sirona completed an internal investigation into certain financial reporting matters, leading to revision of its third-quarter and full-year 2021 financial statements. Additionally, in October 2024, the company voluntarily suspended the sales and marketing of its Byte clear aligners and impression kits to review regulatory requirements, prompting multiple law firms to launch investigations into potential securities law violations.
