CarboHyde, a pharmaceutical company specializing in carbohydrate chemistry and innovative carbohydrate applications, today announced the appointment of its new CEO Tamas Sohajda, replacing the founder and former CEO, József Tóth. The reasons for the decision are captured in József’s personal memorandum below.
Dear colleagues, friends, and valued partners,
Today, I am writing to share an important announcement that marks a significant turning point in my life’s journey. After an incredible adventure at the helm of our beloved biotech startup CarboHyde, I have made the decision to retire from my role as CEO. I am stepping down from this position but will stay in the company as Chief Medical Officer.
It has become clear that dedicating myself both to a full-time consultant position at Semmelweis University and, meanwhile, leading CarboHyde is simply not feasible at the same time, as the expansion and development of the company demand an increasing amount of time, effort, and focus. As a result, I have come to the difficult decision to retire from my position as CEO in order to ensure that the company continues to thrive and reach its full potential under new leadership.
Words cannot express the deep gratitude and immense pride I feel as I reflect upon the extraordinary experiences we have shared throughout this incredible voyage. It has been an honor and a privilege to work alongside such remarkable individuals who have inspired me every single day.
Additionally, I would like to take a moment to express my utmost confidence in the capabilities of our incoming CEO. Tamás Sohajda, a brilliant and accomplished leader, will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective and a wealth of expertise to guide our company into its next phase of growth. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Tamás and have witnessed firsthand his exceptional leadership qualities and strategic acumen. His deep understanding of the biotech industry, combined with his visionary thinking, will be invaluable assets as we steer CarboHyde toward new horizons. I have no doubt that Tamás will continue to drive our company towards even greater success.
In conclusion, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you.
With warm regards,
József Tóth
Founder and former CEO of CarboHyde
