With in-depth knowledge of the market and InnoSer’s service portfolio Kris is uniquely positioned to assume the role of CEO previously held by Jan Bartels.

I am committed to building on the strong foundation laid by previous leadership, increasing our global presence, and enhancing our in-house capabilities to ensure we remain at the forefront of the preclinical CRO industry.” commented Kris Motmans. “Having worked so closely with the team for over 3 years, I am excited about what we can achieve together and look forward to overseeing this next phase of InnoSer’s growth.”
