    About this Episode

    On this episode of the Dental Up Podcast, we welcome to the podcast the CEO of Vista Apex Materials, Scott Lamerand! After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse, Scott joined Bisco as a research chemist. At the time, Bisco was a small dental material’s company leading the market in dental adhesives, where he not only was exposed to the science behind restorative dental materials but also the commercialization process and a look into the dental world from the eyes of KOL’s.  Afterwards, he decided to round out his educational background by earning my MBA at Kellogg-Northwestern University.  The diverse experiences Bisco provided allowed him to contribute to future companies in many ways.  After a few years, he found himself utilizing his business and product development skills in a market manager role with P&L responsibility for $120 million.  Things were going well, then the phone rang and Dr. John Kanca asked if he would be interested in starting a company making adhesives.  That was the day Apex was born.
