The Dallas Business Journal created the prestigious, merit-based award program by combining the CFO of the Year and Most Admired CEOs awards programs and expanding the parameters to highlight “other deserving stories of high-level leadership.” Nominations are gathered from across the DFW Metroplex.
“Alisa has been instrumental in helping to establish USOSM as a valuable partner for oral and maxillofacial surgeons and has made a significant contribution to our overall success. She has built a team and developed processes that enable them to grow their practices while achieving an even higher level of clinical excellence and patient care, which is extremely important to all of us,” said USOSM president and CEO Richard Hall. “She is an exceptional COO and an integral part of our team, and we’re thrilled with the Dallas Business Journal’s decision to honor her with this award.”
As COO of USOSM, Ulrey oversees daily operations, designs and implements business strategies, sets performance and growth goals, and establishes policies that promote company culture and vision. She is a seasoned executive with more than 30 years of experience shaping two of the nation’s largest Fortune 500 companies.
Previously, Ulrey was president and COO of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD). Prior to that, she spent several years in various leadership roles for CVS Health and Target. Ulrey is a graduate of Ball State University with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and business management.
Ulrey is highly active as a business mentor, both in the healthcare industry and beyond. She also volunteers with Women in DSO, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing women leaders in the dental industry. She is a guest speaker at industry events, sharing insights on topics such as improving decision-making in the workplace and operational improvement initiatives. Outside of work, she is active with Collin County animal shelters and frequently fosters dogs, specializing in caring for those that are harder to adopt out.
“I’m grateful to the Dallas Business Journal for this recognition and to our team for their nomination and support—not only for this awards program but, more importantly, for their support as we work together to bring patient care forward. Exceptional patient care is one of the hallmarks of USOSM and our partner practices, and I’m honored to be a part of that process,” said Ulrey.
The Dallas Business Journal is an award-winning business publication and part of the American City Business Journals family, the largest publisher of metropolitan business news weeklies in the United States. This is USOSM’s second award from the Dallas Business Journal this quarter, having been ranked earlier this month as 13th on the Fast 50—a list of the 50 fastest-growing companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
