DALLAS — 12 Oaks Senior Living has appointed President Greg Puklicz the role of chief executive officer. Puklicz has served as president of the company since December 2021. Previous CEO Richard K. Blaylock will move into a new role as chairman of the board.
“Greg’s steady leadership, operational expertise, and commitment to our core values make him the ideal choice to lead 12 Oaks into the future,” said Blaylock in a statement. “Over the past several years, his forward-thinking approach has been instrumental in modernizing our platforms, scaling our infrastructure, growing leaders and expanding our footprint.”
