The CEO appointment comes at a time of great momentum for Ivenix, which received its 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. The infusion system was cleared under the FDA’s new regulatory guidance, adopted in 2014 to address recurring safety problems associated with existing infusion pumps.

Before that, he served as senior vice president for global strategy and marketing, business development, science and innovation at ConvaTec. Hansen also held leadership roles at Coloplast A/S, including as senior vice president of global operations, business unit head and general manager in China. He holds degrees in mechanical engineering from the Denmark Technical University and international commerce from the Copenhagen Business School.
“I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to join Ivenix, especially given the company’s powerful momentum following FDA clearance of its novel infusion system,” said Ivenix CEO Jorgen B. Hansen. “The technology has massive market potential and I look forward to leading the company to realize its vision of eliminating infusion errors, improving patient outcomes and reducing related healthcare costs.”
