AcouSort significantly strengthens its commercial capabilities with the recruitments of Kelley Intehar and Agnes Michanek
AcouSort is rapidly moving towards full commercialization of its solutions for point-of-care diagnostics. In parallel, the company sees a rapidly increasing interest for its technology within precision medicine. With the recruitment of Kelley Intehar as General Manager and Sales Director North America, AcouSort establishes an immediate presence in the US – the world’s largest healthcare market. With the recruitment of Agnes Michanek as Commercial Director, AcouSort also enhances the company’s corporate commercial function.
Kelley Intehar comes from a position as Commercial Director/North American Sales Specialist at Bio-Techne Corporation. Kelley Intehar has a distinct commercial profile and a unique experience, network, and know-how. At Bio-Techne, Kelley Intehar established an entirely new business area, and she has in-depth knowledge of precision medicine.
Agnes Michanek returns to AcouSort to take up the position as Commercial Director. Agnes Michanek has excellent external communication skills and will drive AcouSort’s business development as the company intensifies its commercial efforts with the ambition to accelerate sales of its solutions for point-of-care diagnostics. Agnes was deeply involved in the development of AcouSort’s current strategy, which she now will help turn into actions.
“I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Kelley Intehar and Agnes Michanek to the AcouSort team. Kelley has exactly the profile we have been looking for, and she will be instrumental in establishing an AcouSort presence in North America, where we have an opportunity to establish significant sales of our solutions for point-of-care diagnostics.
