Dr. Pressman indicated that "Ted joined us just six months ago and we are pleased with the progress achieved in operational matters under his leadership. Ted's strong performance allows us to accelerate our plans for him to take on broader responsibilities, including sales and marketing and finance by transitioning him into the President and CEO position."
Mr. Geiselman added, "I joined MonoGen because our technology and products are uniquely positioned to make MonoGen a significant player in the liquid-based cytology market. We've got the clinical data, product quality and technology innovation to become a major contributor to the evolution of the market. I also believe that in Cardinal Health we have the distribution strength to penetrate the marketplace starting in the second half of 2007 and to grow market share from there. I am also looking forward to continue working with Norman in building a successful business."
Andre Denis commented, "These executive advances are a natural evolution in our transition into commercialization allowing Dr. Pressman time to concentrate on building the roadmap for the future and represent the company to the outside world while Mr. Geiselman concentrates on executing on this roadmap."
