Catharina Johansson appointed new CFO, effective 1 December

NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ), a leading mitochondrial medicine company, has appointed Catharina Johansson as the company's new CFO. She will take up her position on 1 December. This appointment concludes the recruitment process initiated earlier this year when the company's previous CFO, Christian Svensson, announced his decision to step down, to focus on his own consulting practice.

Catharina Johansson was formerly Interim CFO of medical technology company Cellavision, listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, as well as Head of Accounting at Bong and Alfa Laval Europe. She holds an M.Sc. in Business and Economics and is based in Lund, Sweden where NeuroVive's headquarters are located.

Mikael Brönnegård, CEO of NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB, said: "Catharina Johansson's experience from a listed medical technology growth company with international operations means she's well prepared for the role as CFO of NeuroVive. I'm certain that her experience and drive will be a great asset to NeuroVive when we develop our position as a leader with many international collaborations and revenue sources."

Catharina Johansson, the new CFO of NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB, said: "NeuroVive is right in a really interesting development phase, and I look forward to using my experience of similar positions to help move the company forward. I prefer dynamic companies that present constant challenges, so I expect to fit well into NeuroVive's development-driven business operations."

NeuroVive's former CFO Christian Svensson will continue to serve the company on a consultancy basis until Catharina takes up her new position, and during a transitional phase. Accordingly, the transition is expected to be smooth, with no effect on day-to-day business.

NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ) is a leader in mitochondrial medicine. The company is listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, Small Cap, with the stock symbol NVP. IR-related questions should be addressed to ir@neurovive.com or +46(0)46 275 6221.
