Both executives said they enjoy Exactech's company culture and that it's what makes the company unique.

"There are a lot of people here who have been here a long time and care deeply about the company's success. You can't replace that, and you can't hire that," Dale said. "I think that will always be a bedrock to build success on."

Also, Exactech's culture reflects how motivated its employees are to the company's success and customers.

"It's inspiring to see that dedication," Matt said. "It makes me want to contribute more, do more and help more because you see how much they're willing to do for this company."

With leaders like Dale Wolf and Matt Collins at the helm, the company is well-positioned to continue its mission of improving patient outcomes and driving innovation in the orthopaedic industry.
