The board of directors at Boule Diagnostics has appointed Torben Nielsen as the new CEO and President, effective no later than June 14, 2024.

Torben Nielsen will replace Jesper Söderqvist, who has been the CEO since 2020. Jesper will be available to the company during a transition period and will leave his position at latest by April 15, 2024. If necessary, the company’s CFO, Holger Lembrér, will act as interim CEO until Torben Nielsen assumes his role.

“Torben Nielsen, with his extensive experience in international sales, not only within segments closely related to Boule’s markets but also in other healthcare markets with a similar business model, will make a significant contribution. We are facing a product launch of a new hematology platform, increased focus on the veterinary segment, and expansion of our OEM business,” adds Torben Jörgensen, Chairman of the Board at Boule Diagnostics.
