Planet DDS Hires Kajabi exec as new CFO

Stephen Fong also has Microsoft exec experience

Newport Beach-based Planet DDS, a provider of cloud-based dental software, said it’s appointed Stephen Fong as chief financial officer.

Fong, who has more than 16 years in financial roles, was most recently vice president of finance and business operations at Kajabi, an Irvine-based provider of websites for entrepreneurs. Before Kajabi, Fong served as director of strategy and Operations at Microsoft Corp., where he led the finance, strategy, and growth functions for the company’s consumer business unit to launch and scale several mobile and desktop applications across the M365 Office bundle. Fong will oversee finance, accounting and human resources.

“Stephen’s experience and analytic horsepower makes him a great fit as we work towards meeting our aggressive growth objectives and strive to be more data-driven,” Planet DDS Chief Executive Eric Giesecke said in a statement. “His deep understanding of investment strategy, metrics and critical infrastructure for SaaS businesses also makes him an invaluable member of our executive team.”

Planet DDS has more than 10,000 dental practices in North America with over 60,000 users.
