Align Technology Appoints Jennifer Davis President and CEO Effective December 31, 2026

Align Technology appointed Jennifer L. Davis as its next president and chief executive officer, effective December 31, 2026, succeeding Joseph M. Hogan, who has held the role since 2015. The company announced the succession on October 28, 2026, Business Wire reported.

Davis Moves From P&G Healthcare to Align

Davis joins Align Technology as CEO-elect and a member of its board of directors on November 2, 2026, working alongside Hogan before taking on the president and CEO responsibilities on December 31, 2026. She most recently served as chief executive officer of Procter & Gamble's Global Healthcare business, where she was responsible for strategy, annual performance, portfolio innovation, operations and customer development across a multibillion-dollar portfolio that included oral-health and personal-health brands. The company said Davis has 33 years of experience leading innovation, digital transformation, brand building and complex organizations at scale.

Hogan will step down as president and CEO and as a member of the board, and will retire from the board following the conclusion of its strategy meeting on June 16, 2027. Kevin Conroy, chairman of Align's board, said: "Over the last decade, Joe has transformed the company into a global leader in digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry." Conroy said the board believes now is the right time for the leadership transition and that Davis's experience building consumer-healthcare brands and leading oral-health businesses is relevant as Align seeks to extend the Invisalign brand.

Davis said: "I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity to lead Align into its next chapter and build on the strong foundation Joe and the team have created." Hogan said leading Align has been one of the most rewarding experiences of his career.

Align's Chairman Change and Manufacturing Plans

Conroy became Align's chairman effective July 1, 2026, succeeding C. Raymond Larkin Jr., according to akta.pro company records. The same records list a planned approximately $200 million manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, India, with operations expected to begin in 2027, and about $4.1 billion in annualized net revenues.

Earnings Expectations Ahead of the CEO Transition

Align was expected to release third-quarter 2026 results on October 28 after market close, with analysts projecting earnings per share of $2.78 and revenue of $1.01 billion, MarketBeat reported. Investing.com reported that analysts expected revenue to decline sequentially and that two of five dentists surveyed reported insufficient workload. On October 5, 2026, a federal appeals court reversed a lower court ruling that had granted Align summary judgment, meaning the company will likely face renewed antitrust claims, Seeking Alpha reported.

Davis's Start Date and Hogan's Board Departure

Davis begins as CEO-elect and board member on November 2, 2026, and assumes the president and CEO role on December 31, 2026. Hogan retires from the board after its strategy meeting on June 16, 2027.
