BioInvent International announces that Michael Oredsson will resign as CEO of BioInvent 31 December 2017.

Michael took office as CEO of BioInvent in 2013 to restructure the company and refocus on oncology. Now, both the board and Michael believe that it is a good time for a change in leadership, as the company is transitioning to a specific focus on clinical development and R&D.

“On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Michael for a highly valuable contribution to the company. He has been instrumental in taking the company through a critical phase and I wish him all the best in the future”, says Björn O. Nilsson, Chairman of the Board.

“The challenges of a biotech company are many, but with highly skilled and devoted employees, my work has been both rewarding and stimulating. It has been a privilege to lead the BioInvent organization, but the company now needs more scientific skills in the CEO role. I will of course continue to follow the company closely”, says Michael Oredsson.

The board has initiated a process to recruit a new CEO. If a new CEO is not in place by 1 January, 2018, the present CSO, Björn Frendéus, will serve as acting CEO until the new CEO has been appointed and taken office.
