Effective as of March 2023 at Plagazi, Soran’s responsibilities will include assuming ownership of the patented Plagazi process, as well as acting as the head of Plagazi’s newly obtained Gothenburg office.

“We are extremely enthusiastic about Soran assuming the CTO position at Plagazi. Having someone with his extensive credentials and experience joining our team will provide invaluable expertise and ensure that the development of our unique process progresses in the right way and in the right direction. We very much look forward to Soran’s addition to our engineering team in Gothenburg and Plagazi as a whole.” – Torsten Granberg, CEO Plagazi
