Precise Biometrics

”During his time as CEO, Patrick has contributed to strengthening Precise's stance, positioning the company for profitable growth. The company has implemented a successful reorganization, realized synergies from the acquisition of EastCoast – the company having the same cost level as before the acquisition – and completed a rights issue that secures the company's financial position. In addition, new sales channels in the US have been established and annual recurring revenues have increased”, said Torgny Hellström, Chairman of the Board of Precise Biometrics.

“Patrick himself initiated a dialogue about how the company should be managed going forward, as we are entering a new phase, and what leadership is best suited in that regard. Patrick ultimately decided to end his employment and step down from his role as CEO. The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank Patrick for his hard work and wish him good luck in his future endeavors”, adds Torgny Hellström.
