Oral Surgery Partners (OSP), an established oral surgery management group, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sohail Malad as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective August 12. Sohail Malad, a seasoned healthcare executive with a proven track record of leadership and innovation, will succeed John Cline, who served as CEO for the past three years and will continue to remain involved in an advisory capacity. Under John’s tenure, OSP experienced significant growth, establishing itself as a trusted name in the oral surgery field. His continued involvement will ensure a smooth and effective leadership transition.
Sohail Malad brings a wealth of experience to OSP, having previously served as President of National Veterinary Associates’ (NVA) General Practice business. During his time at NVA, Sohail was instrumental in driving operational efficiencies, enhancing care, and expanding the company’s reach to underserved markets. He led the General Practice organization as it grew from over 450 clinics to nearly 1,000 clinics, overseeing close to 30,000 associates. Highlighting his strategic acumen and commitment to driving organizational growth, Sohail played a key role in the 2019 sale of NVA to its current investor group.
Before his tenure at NVA, Sohail held several strategic roles, including Vice President and General Manager at TransUnion, Partner at Monarch Partners, and Consultant at The Boston Consulting Group. His impressive credentials include a B.S. from the University of Southern California and an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the new role, Sohail stated, “I am excited to join a surgeon-first organization and to support our physicians in providing exceptional patient care. OSP has built a strong culture that prioritizes physician satisfaction, and I look forward to further strengthening the corporate infrastructure to better serve our partner practices.”
“Sohail’s leadership and deep industry expertise will be pivotal as OSP continues to grow and navigate the rapidly changing healthcare landscape,” commented Sean Dempsey, Partner at Sheridan Capital Partners. “We are confident that he will guide OSP to new heights of success.”
Sohail joins an experienced and robust management team at OSP, which is excited to embark on this new chapter under his leadership, further enhancing patient care and streamlining operations for partner physicians.
