Jeanne Cook

Founder, Dental Savings Connect | Former Vice President of Operations, Dental Care Alliance

Four decades of experience. From the practice floor to building one of the nation’s largest DSOs.

Jeanne Cook has spent nearly 40 years helping shape the DSO industry from the inside.

Starting her career as a dental assistant, Jeanne went on to become the very first employee of Dental Care Alliance, playing a pivotal role in its growth from a single practice into a national organization of more than 400 locations.

As one of the industry’s early female executives, she built extensive experience across DSO operations, procurement, vendor strategy and profitability. Today, she is the Founder of Dental Savings Connect, helping dental practices improve purchasing efficiency and protect their margins.

Few people have seen the DSO industry evolve from as many angles.

From clinical operations to enterprise growth and supplier relationships, Jeanne brings a firsthand understanding of what it takes to build, scale and sustain a successful dental organization.

As moderator of the DSO Power 7, she’ll draw on that experience to challenge assumptions, uncover different approaches and guide an honest discussion about what great scale really looks like.
