While the business of Biotage continues to perform well, following consultation with the Board Tomas Blomquist will leave his role as CEO & President of Biotage AB with immediate effect. The Chairman of the Board, Torben Jørgensen, has been appointed by the Board of Directors as interim CEO while the process of recruiting a new CEO is finalized.

• “The Board wishes to thank Tomas Blomquist for the four years he has led the company. During turbulent times, not the least the effects from geopolitical events and a global pandemic, the company has doubled in size under his leadership. As we embark on a new growth phase in Biotage we have agreed that there is a need for change and that new leadership with a different profile is needed to take an already successful company to the next level “ says Torben Jørgensen, Chairman of the Board.
