Thomas Marschall, who has been CEO for Precise Biometrics since 2006, is leaving the company.

”The strategy is clear and so are our growth targets. Through many years Precise Biometrics has created the platform for future development. We are now ready to take the next step. With a change in top management the Board wants to be able to respond faster to opportunities in the market and thereby ensure momentum and benefit from the company’s healthy financial situation to the benefit of customers, shareholders and employees”, says Lisa Thorsted Chairman of the Board.
”Precise Biometrics is a very exciting company with a technology with great potential. I think an increased focus on sales is key to realising the company’s potential, and I look forward to releasing this potential in close collaboration with the management team and the employees”, says Håkan Persson, interim CEO for Precise Biometrics.
The Chairman of the Board comments on the now former CEO: ”Through the years, Thomas Marschall has made an immense contribution and for this we are very grateful. He has commercialized the company’s technology and patents as well as developed new products to support this. He has contributed to a stronger partner set-up and partner strategy as well as ensured the necessary capital to develop and position the company to its present status”
