Swedish drug developer Karolinska Development has named Bruno Lucidi as permanent chief executive.

Karolinska Development’s chairman Bo Jesper Hansen said: “We are happy to welcome Bruno Lucidi as permanent CEO. As communicated on September 30, we need a new strategy and a new leadership to realize the true potential of Karolinska Development and its portfolio companies. We are convinced that Bruno has the right skills and experiences to lead the company during this important phase where a more effective and compelling strategy for the future needs to be executed”.
