Commenting on the announcement, Henning Hansen said: "It has been my honor to lead this team for the past 11 years and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved during this time. After a decade manning the helm, it is now the right time for me to focus on other priorities, spend more time with my family, and start a new chapter. I am delighted that Ken will be taking on the role and, having worked closely with him for over a decade, I know that he has the experience and expansive knowledge of Confirmit to ensure that the company will continue to be a powerful, driving force in the market," he said.
