STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, April 30, 2025. Karolinska Development AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: KDEV) announces that its portfolio company OssDsign has notified a change of CEO during the second half of 2025. The purpose is to support the establishment of leadership with an even stronger presence and focus on the US market.
OssDsign launched OssDsign Catalyst in the U.S. in August 2021. Since then, the company has undergone a strategic shift to become a pure-play orthobiologics company and has shown high double-digit growth. To lead the continued rapid growth in the United States, OssDsign’s board and CEO Morten Henneveld have agreed that this is best achieved by leadership with an even stronger presence and focus on the US market. The board will now begin an orderly transition to a new CEO.
OssDsign’s CEO Morten Henneveld will continue leading the company with focus and ensuring a smooth transition to new leadership. He will leave his position when a new CEO has been appointed or at year-end at the latest.
Karolinska Development’s ownership in OssDsign amounts to 3%.
