Mr. Baccanti comments, “I feel very enthusiastic to join an industrial group that is experiencing such a fast, global expansion, with a clear vision to contribute and serve the evolution of global healthcare towards a more sustainable, patient-centric and delocalized approach, with a stronger focus on prevention and wellness.”
“I am totally aligned to this vision, that has been a leitmotiv in all my previous roles, in Europe, the Middle East and in Australia, and I see now this new mandate as an ideal continuation of what I have been learning and doing in my last 25 years in industry, governments and research institutions.” said Mr Baccanti.
Trajan enriches the wellbeing of a growing number of communities through improved scientific and medical tools and technologies. They have completed 7 acquisitions over 6 years, increased their workforce to over 450 staff and continue to develop partnerships with unique collaboration models with academia, industry experts and likeminded organizations.
