He is also the Co-Founder of AppliLog, a Supply Chain Management Software Company and Customer Experts, a Business Development Consulting Company. Company Co-Founder and current CEO, Siby Vadakekkara, will transition to the role of Chairman.

Throughout his career, he’s been instrumental in shaping go-to-market strategies, winning marquee clients, and transforming teams into hyper-growth organizations. I’m confident that Tom’s experience in scaling digital engineering firms and helping customers drive transformation initiatives will accelerate our growth ambitions while delivering compelling value to our customers.” Revered in the industry for his strategic leadership, communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills, Collins holds a diploma in business administration from Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. “It’s an honor and great responsibility to lead Marlabs,” said Collins. “I was drawn by Marlabs’ exceptional client base and its reputation for accelerating enterprise digital transformations. I want to especially thank Siby and Matt Kinsey, Managing Partner at Marlabs’ investor BV Investment Partners, for trusting me to take on this role,” Collins stated about his appointment. Marlabs has been on an accelerated growth path ever since its partnership with BV Investment Partners, continuing to deliver high-value and high-impact services to clients across pharma and life sciences, manufacturing, and retail as well as banking and insurance verticals. It acquired Extentor Tquila in 2015 to strengthen its Salesforce platform capabilities and earlier this year announced its expansion into LATAM with the acquisition of the Brazil-based Monitora Soluções Tecnológicas, enabling it to access new markets for growth, offering near-shore capabilities to clients while deepening technology capabilities. Marlabs announces Thomas Collins as new CEO Canadian Orthodontic Partners (COP), Canada’s leading orthodontics provider and the company behind the growing docbraces clinics network, announces today the arrival of George Jeffrey as its new CEO and the formation of its Doctor Advisory Council (DAC). In post since September, Mr. Jeffrey joins Dr. Robert Hatheway, Chief Clinical Officer at COP at Docbraces-Hatheway in New Brunswick as co-chair of the council. “George is a gifted leader with a remarkable track record who has thoroughly impressed us since day one,” says Brian Chambers, COP Board Chair “It’s no overstatement to say he’s given us reason for great big smiles since joining our passionate and talented team. We’re delighted to have him on board and act as a founding co-chair of our Doctor Advisory Council.” Experienced in scaling up businesses and fostering strong cultures of performance, purpose and team spirit, George recently helped launch Laser Clinics Canada, part of the world’s largest network of advanced medical aesthetic clinics. Before that he was Senior Vice President at McKesson Canada where he oversaw the growth and development of a network of more than 2,600 pharmacies – a $3.8+ billion business unit. Prior to entering the healthcare sector, he played similar roles at leading international brands in retail foodservice and food processing industries. “I could not be happier,” says Jeffrey. “I have always focused on delivering smiles inside and outside of the organizations for which I’ve worked. The only difference is that now it’s official – I’m joining a team that builds self-esteem, one beautiful smile at a time. I’m wholly aligned with our purpose, values, and our mission and see clearly that docbraces is blessed with a strong team of doctors, clinic and administrative teams who share a common passion for the field of orthodontics, service experience and innovation.” The creation of a Doctor Advisory Council, the brainchild of both Jeffrey and Dr. Hatheway, serves the purpose of reinforcing the company’s mission and its nature as a patient centric, doctor partnered operating network. Specifically, the DAC will ensure the highest standards of orthodontic excellence, firmly rooted in the company’s core values of trust, learning, confidence, and community. To be comprised of the two co-chairs and 10 members representing the leading doctors who operate local docbraces clinics, the DAC will provide advice, perspective and feedback to COP management and share best practices on the industry at large. It will include members from Canada and the United States. “With the arrival of George and our first slate of DAC members, which will be announced soon, we can be sure our team and brands will continue to be supported by experts on the ground in both the U.S. and Canada,” says Dr. Hatheway. “When I look around myself and our network, I see rich, deep experience, and a contagious energy that bodes well for our company as we create the brightest possible future for orthodontic clinics in North America.” Founded January 2016, COP operates a network of 71 COP and docbraces clinics. Driven by its purpose of building self-esteem, one beautiful smile at a time, the company has become the leading orthodontics provider in Canada and the second largest in North America. The company is currently working on expansion plans which will include both organic growth and possible acquisitions.
