Ken Strickhouser
Senior Operations Manager
Dentsply Sirona
“People first” is how Ken Strickhouser, Dentsply Sirona’s senior operations manager, describes his leadership style. “We measure ourselves through metrics of safety, quality, delivery and cost; however, the metric of our people is the most important … . Ensuring your employees are engaged, empowered, informed, included and safe fosters a culture of success. This approach has impacted our site through market growth, productivity, profitability, safety culture and customer satisfaction.”
His employment there started in 1990, after high school. “My history with the company goes back through generations of my family who have been employed with Dentsply Sirona since the mid-1920s. … Word of mouth and other references are what got me started with this industry. More important is what made me stay, and that would be the people and the products we manufacture. … The products we make … are life-changing, giving people better health, confidence and overall well-being.”
Outside of work, Strickhouser said, “I like to spend time with my wife and kids, making memories … . The location of York County puts us a few hours from … Baltimore, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and other areas rich in history and family activities.”
