Since 2023, Anders Hedlund is also a current Board Member of Pharmacolog, a position he plans to maintain.
Erik Hedlund, Chairman of the Board and main owner of Pharmacolog: "We are in a transformational process to become a serial acquirer within the healthcare sector. There is a lot of work to be done although we have made progress during the quarter by, for instance, divesting the Druglog product line. Recently, we also announced our intention to change the name of the company. Anders Hedlund's main task will be to lay the ground for the new business direction. His extensive experience and network in the healthcare and financial industry make him suitable for this task."
