Bactiguard Holding AB (publ) announced that current CEO Anders Göransson will step down as CEO to enter a new role as Global Head of Licensing and Executive Vice President. The Board has, in view of this, appointed the Chair of the Board Thomas von Koch as interim CEO. Anders Göransson joined Bactiguard in October 2021 with the objective to formulate a comprehensive long-term strategy and sharpen internal processes.

Over the course of one and a half years with the company, these objectives have been accomplished. Bactiguard has a clear growth strategy and five well defined therapeutic areas. In addition, two long-term financial goals have been defined, to achieve revenues of 1 billion and an EBITDA of 400 MSEK by 2026.

With the new growth-focused strategy in place, Bactiguard enters a new phase of the company's development, to build both an even stronger license business and enter the US. Bactiguard is also on a transformation journey, from being a medical device company to a medtech business. This shift demands additional leadership skills to accelerate the journey, for instance from digital disruption and internationalization.
