Morten Nielsen appointed new CEO of Kentaur

We are pleased to announce that Morten Nielsen will join Kentaur as CEO on September 1, 2026.

Following the strengthening of our ownership structure earlier this year, Morten will lead Kentaur into the next phase of our development.

Most recently, Morten Nielsen served as CEO of OneMed and Country Manager within Asker Healthcare Group where he successfully led the organization through growth, change, and development. Throughout his career, he has combined commercial focus with people-centered leadership.

Commenting on his appointment, Morten Nielsen says:

"I am honored to join Kentaur at this exciting stage of the company's journey. What stands out to me is the strong culture, customer commitment, and proud history that have shaped Kentaur over the past 35 years. I look forward to getting to know the organization and, together with the team, building on this strong foundation while exploring new opportunities for growth and development."

As Kentaur continues to build on its strong customer focus and explore new opportunities for growth, we believe Morten's experience and leadership approach make him the right person to lead Kentaur into our next chapter. His ability to translate strategy into execution while maintaining a strong culture and clear direction will be instrumental in supporting our long-term ambitions.

Morten succeeds Ilhami Alici, who has successfully led Kentaur as Interim CEO during the ownership transition. We are pleased that Ilhami will continue to support Kentaur as Chairman of the Board.

Together with our dedicated employees, Morten will build on the strong foundation and values that have defined Kentaur since Bernt Dahl founded the company more than 35 years ago.

We look forward to welcoming Morten to Kentaur on September 1.
