Kindred Group Appoints Patrick Kortman as Interim CFO

Kindred Group has appointed Patrick Kortman as Interim CFO.

Kortman has been at Kindred Group since 2018, serving in the role of Head of Corporate Development. Then in 2021, Kortman’s title was extended to Head of Corporate Development & Investor Relations. Prior to working at Kindred, Kortman held senior positions at Nordea and Ratos.

Kortman takes over from Johan Wilsby, who announced he was leaving the role of CFO in May this year.

“I am very pleased that Patrick has agreed to take on the role as Interim CFO at Kindred. Patrick knows Kindred very well and has a vast experience from the financial sector, and he will continue to bring great value to Kindred’s financial operations, to the wider Executive Team, and to the Board as we continue to focus on the strategic review,” Nils Andén, Interim CEO at Kindred Group, said.

In addition to the Interim CFO role, two additional interim appointments have been made to the Executive Team. Usha Ganesan will assume the role as Interim Chief Finance Operations Officer, and Neil Banbury will assume the role as Interim Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer. All appointments will remain as interim until the strategic review is concluded.

“I am delighted that we can maintain momentum and consistency across the company during this period thanks to our excellent senior leaders and strong employee base,” Nils Andén added.
