# Open Letter on CEO Transition by Brandon

10.10.23 | 4 Minutes

Customers and Partners,

I’m thrilled to announce an exciting moment in the evolution of CureMint. Earlier this month, I made the decision to transition my role to Chief Vision Officer (CVO) making way for the addition of [Tyson Nargassans](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyson-nargassans/) as CureMint’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

This decision was not made lightly, but ultimately it was a pretty easy one. It is and will always be a priority to ensure we are assembling the best possible team to serve you, our customers, and partners. While 2023 has been a year of growth, the pursuit of greatness must never rest. Bringing on a leader like Tyson marks an emphatic step toward our commitment to the continuous improvement of CureMint, its team, and the solutions we provide to you.

Tyson and I have worked closely together for a better part of 2023, and it became clear that we share a vision and passion for the advancement of financial technology in dental and beyond. Tyson brings over 15 years of experience as a B2B founder and CEO, with an extensive skill set in deep data and fintech. Prior to CureMint he successfully built, scaled, and sold [Saylent Technologies](https://saylent.com/welcome/) in 2021. Tyson will be an outstanding leader for CureMint, helping accelerate CureMint’s position and execution as the leader in dental spend management.

As for me, I have never been more excited to come to work. This move will free me up to do more of the things that I love. As CVO, I will now have the ability to spend more time with our customers and partners to ensure we are bringing the most valuable solutions to the market. Additionally, I can now prioritize being the voice of CureMint and advocating for the advancement of spend management and financial operations across dentistry.

CureMint’s journey began nearly seven years ago. I can still remember explaining the word procurement, justifying why we called ourselves CureMint, and coaching dental organizations on why the dependency on their distributor’s e-commerce site and sales reps was not a sound procurement and spend management strategy.

Today, we support over 2,000 dental practices and deliver nearly $120 million annually in spending. Trailblazing a new way to do things in dentistry has never been easy, but it is extremely rewarding. We’ve had, and continue to make, a tremendous impact on the industry and our customers’ bottom lines, but this is just the beginning. The industry needs more, and we are here to deliver it for you.

I continue to be inspired by our customers and team, and never more confident in the position and future that lies ahead for CureMint. Please welcome Tyson to the team. I encourage all who are interested to connect with him directly via email [tyson.nargassans@curemint.io](mailto:tyson.nargassans@curemint.io) or through his [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyson-nargassans/).

Now, it’s time for us to get back to work.

Sincerely,

Brandon
