TICRA welcomes new CEO to drive next phase of innovation and growth

TICRA is thrilled to announce that from December 2023 Simon Barchard has taken the lead as the company’s new CEO.

TICRA’s board decided that now was the right time to change leadership and management style and direction, to continue a slow-but-steady growth of TICRA and to ensure that the company remains resilient in the future. Chairman of TICRA’s board, Oscar Borries, elaborates:

“For a new CEO, we wanted someone with a technical background and that has worked for many years with technically innovative products, while at the same time possessing substantial experience within management, strategy, and business development. With Simon, we are confident that we have found the right match, that perfectly balances the TICRA culture and mindset with what the company needs in the years to come”.
