Getinge announces that Reinhard Mayer, Chief Financial Officer of Getinge, has decided to leave the company for family reasons after nearly 20 years of service.

Reinhard will remain as CFO and member of the Getinge Executive Team until he leaves the position in November 2017.

“It is very unfortunate that Reinhard has decided to leave Getinge as he holds deep knowledge of the company and is a respected and trusted colleague to us”, says Mattias Perjos, President & CEO. “I was looking forward to work together with Reinhard but I fully respect his private and family motives for leaving Getinge and wish him all the best in the future when he now moves back to Germany”. The process to recruit a new CFO of Getinge will commence immediately.
