As we approach Mother’s Day, we celebrate our Envista moms and the role they play in being a champion for Envista and their families. Claudia Ortiz, Senior Vice President (SVP) Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance, is a mother of two and has faced the demands and challenges of being a working mom, while also experiencing the enormous fulfillment of it.

As I approach Black History Month, I often wonder…
If our differences were perceived as a nonfactor throughout our past, how much further along could our nation be, specifically as it pertains to race? 
My name is Kevin McBride. I grew up in northeast Alabama, earned a business degree at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and lived in Atlanta, GA for a few years until I moved to the Washington, DC metro area. I started my career at GE and worked at 3M Oral Care before joining Nobel Biocare almost four years ago.

There is never a boring day at Envista. During my career I have been fortunate to learn from the brightest minds in the industry. I have been given the chance to build my skills and set a strong professional foundation. Today, I would like to share my journey with you, and what I have learned.

I am a Colombian with deep dentistry roots. In honor of Latin+ Heritage Month, today I would like to share my story, and why I belong at Envista.

I am from Brazil and based in São Paulo – the largest city in Latin America. In my opinion, a great leader needs to innovate, seek new paths and possibilities, ensure continuous improvement, understand and hear our customers’ needs and, above all, respect others – which is the basis of any relationship.

I am the son of Cuban immigrants. My parents traveled from Cuba’s Mariel Harbor to the United States in 1980. They left everything behind as Cuban exiles and began a new life in their mid-thirties with nothing although grateful to have freedom. The youngest of 4 kids, I was born in Miami, FL and grew up in humble beginnings.

Being Latin can mean so many different things! Being Latin encompasses many diverse countries and people. Our unique cultures come together through one common theme, una voz! The “Latino Experience” is unique to each individual. Everyone has a story… My name is Veronica Espinoza, and I am proud to be a Chicana!

My name is Juan R. Arbona, and I am the Chief Compliance Officer for Envista based in Brea, California. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, thus represent a very proud but narrow slice of the greater Latino-X population. As Puerto Rican, I was born a U.S. citizen and did not experience the difficulties of immigration which many others of the Latin community must deal with.

I felt a surge of excitement when I received my offer to join Envista's summer MBA internship program, but my excitement was tinged with trepidation as my start date approached. I had no previous experience working in the dental industry; indeed, I had never worked for an American for-profit company before.

We are very proud of our interns and we are spending the summer checking in and learning from them. Boshi Wang started his internship in June as part of our immersive 3-month program of learning, working, and living the Envista life.

I am in my first rotation working as a global product manager at Ormco, a global leader across 140 countries and regions in the orthodontics medical devices industry.
