OptiCept Technologies announces a change of CFO
OptiCept's CFO, Despina Georgiadou Hedin, has decided to step down from her role. Henrik Nettersand will be the new CFO.
Despina Georgiadou Hedin, who has been CFO at OptiCept Technologies AB since 2023, will leave her position no later than April 2, 2025. Henrik Nettersand, currently CFO at S:t Eriks AB, will succeed her.
OptiCept’s CEO, Thomas Lundqvist, commented: "Despina has been a valuable and appreciated CFO and colleague. She joined the company at a time when her dedication and deep knowledge of accounting and HR perfectly matched the company's needs. Despina has played a key role in strengthening the finance department's structure and supporting the company during its restructuring driven by our partnership strategy. She has been instrumental in preparing the company for the global commercialization we are now facing."
Thomas Lundqvist continued: "I am pleased to welcome Henrik Nettersand to OptiCept. Henrik has many years of experience in financial leadership roles, both at the company and group levels, and has extensive global experience. His long experience working with multinational companies in growth, both inside and outside Sweden, and with companies delivering complex food technology globally, has given him the expertise and business focus we need in our global expansion. His skills and leadership will also free up the time I need to work more closely with our customers, partners, and the implementation of our strategy."
Henrik Nettersand most recently served as CFO at S:t Eriks AB and will assume his new role no later than April 2, 2025. Previously, he was CFO at Besikta Bilprovning for five years and held several leadership roles during his eleven years at John Bean Technologies AB, including as Head of Finance. He began his career as an auditor at KPMG and holds a Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration from Lund University, with a specialization in finance.
