“Under Jonathan Royce’s leadership, Bio-Works has seen significant development and initiatives. However, we have not achieved the results that both he and the Board anticipated”, said Peter Ehrenheim, Chairman of the Board at Bio-Works. “We agree that new leadership and a strategic reset are necessary to move Bio-Works forward and realize the potential of our technology platform. Initially, Lone Carlbom will focus entirely on the company’s operations. The Board will take a more active role in implementing the company’s commercial strategy and its communications with the financial markets.”
“The Board would like to thank Jonathan Royce for his efforts and dedication during his tenure with us. Despite the challenges we faced, he has worked strenuously to lead Bio-Works, and we appreciate his contributions.
