Perrett Laver Seeks COO for European Society of Endodontology 

August 31, 2020 – Perrett Laver is leading the search for a new chief operating officer for the European Society of Endodontology (ESE), which focuses on the study of dental pulp and tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. Consultant Emi Saliasi is leading the assignment for the search firm.

ESE wants a COO to ensure that the organization’s mission, aims, objectives and strategic goals are achieved, said Perrett Laver. The COO provides operational and financial leadership and is responsible for implementing and integrating the strategic plans of the society. The individual is expected to work closely with the executive board to consider ethical, innovative and financially viable ways of supporting its activities.

“The COO will play a crucial role in strengthening the esteem of the ESE,” said the search firm. “Moreover, the successful candidate will bring a proven track record of building an effective network and in maintaining excellent links with relevant stakeholders (e.g. patient groups, general dentists, endodontists, universities, relevant scientific societies, politicians and the dental industry).”

The chief operating officer will be appointed by the executive board following a formal appointment process and be ratified by the general assembly. The appointee will report directly to, and be accountable to, the executive board for the activities of the society. Due to the remote working nature of this role, the location is flexible.
