Together with the team and Board of Directors at Bactiguard, and in close collaboration with license partners across the world, we have the potential to revolutionize the global standard of care, thanks to Bactiguard's unique infection prevention technology, and simultaneously make the world a healthier place. Equally important is my task to steer Bactiguard to profitability and achieve sustainable growth.
