Tobii Dynavox, the global leader in assistive technology for communication, today announced its new Board of Directors. This is a key step in the process for the planned spin-off and public listing of Tobii Dynavox. 

The new Board of Directors will include five members, with Åsa Hedin as Chair and Caroline Ingre, Henrik Eskilsson, Charlotta Falvin, and Carl Bandhold as members.  

"I am honored to lead our Board and to take on this responsibility at such an exciting time for Tobii Dynavox," said Åsa Hedin, Chair of the Board at Tobii Dynavox. "As the global leader in a market with profound impact on people's lives, Tobii Dynavox has a unique potential to help and improve the lives for the over 50 million people living with communication difficulties. Together with the leadership team and the talented Tobii Dynavox staff, the Board will continue to develop and execute on our strategy to deliver life-changing and sustainable customer value as well as long-term value for our shareholders." 

The decision to prepare the spin-off of Tobii Dynavox was announced in April, and the aim is to have Tobii Dynavox listed on Nasdaq Stockholm by the end of this year. The spin-off will enhance the autonomy of Tobii Dynavox, and enable a clearer business focus and more agile organizations for both Tobii and Tobii Dynavox.
