AstraZeneca veteran takes up CEO post at Medivir, becoming 4th person to hold the post in quick succession

And the next person to hold the CEO post at Medivir is … Jens Lindberg. The AstraZeneca veteran will become the fourth person to hold the post, on an interim or permanent basis, in quick succession when he takes up the position.

Medivir began burning through CEOs a little more than one year ago, when Uli Hacksell ended an almost two-year spell at the top. Yilmaz Mahshid replaced Hacksell in September 2020, only to give his resignation six months later. Magnus Christensen, chief financial officer at Medivir, stepped in to fill the gap, taking up the CEO post on an interim basis in May.
