The company is entering into a very important period and is expecting exciting developments during the fall. Over the past several months, the business strategy and organization have been re-oriented to optimize the way forward. As one consequence the position of COO is no longer required.
“I have been involved in NeuroVive in different roles since 2010 and it has been fantastic to be part of the development of the company to the position it holds today. The company has a very interesting project portfolio and a strong organization. The transition to our new CEO is now concluded which makes the timing right for me to seek new challenges. I will of course follow the company’s continued development with greatest interest”, says Jan Nilsson.
“Jan Nilsson has with great dedication, in combination with his vast knowledge and experience, played a key role in NeuroVive, not only as COO but also as a Director and for a period as interim CEO. Jan has been instrumental in managing the challenges faced by NeuroVive in recent years. On behalf of the entire company and its shareholders, I express our respect and appreciation for Jan and wish him all the best in his new endeavors”, says Greg Batcheller, Chairman of NeuroVive.
