Sensio appoints new Chairperson and board of directors

With the appointment of Sabine Bendiek as Chairperson and Paula Dowdy as a new board member, Sensio’s new international board aims to accelerate growth, international expansion, and enhance its technology platform and products.

Sensio provides innovative, smart monitoring solutions with global reach to care homes and home care providers, and is committed to addressing challenges for residents, care personnel and society at large, while also generating operational efficiencies that free up time for quality care and reduce costs.

In July 2024, Nordic Capital, a leading healthcare and technology investor, entered into an agreement to acquire a majority share in Sensio with the aim to accelerate growth, international expansion, and strengthen its technology platform and offerings. As part of the new ownership structure, Sensio now announces international additions to its new board of directors.

She currently serves on the board of Regnology, a Nordic Capital portfolio company, as well as on the Supervisory Boards at Sunlight Group, VISTRA, and Schaeffler.

– I’m excited to join the board of Sensio and to support their talented team committed to creating innovative care technology solutions. I look forward to working closely with Sensio’s leadership team to build on recent growth momentum and to support Sensio’s international expansion and long-term sustainable growth, said Sabine Bendiek.

In addition, Paula Dowdy (photo), who has more than three decades of experience from executive positions at Cisco and Illumina, and from driving international growth across life sciences, enterprise software, and technology, will join as a new board member. She currently serves on the board of SPT Labtech and Quantum-Si. 

– Sabine and Paula have significantly contributed to leading and transforming organisations in the past and bring an international edge that Sensio will greatly benefit from, said Torbjorn Aamodt (photo), CEO of Sensio.

– Sabine’s and Paula’s combined extensive technology and healthcare expertise and experience in driving growth and innovation will be invaluable for Sensio as it now continues its international expansion and enhancing its market position. The new board members will help Sensio realise its full potential and deliver value to residents, healthcare personnel and society, said Erik Otto Nyborg, Managing Director, Nordic Capital Advisors and member of Sensio’s board of directors.

The new board comprises Sabine Bendiek, Paula Dowdy, Erik Otto Nyborg, Kasper Alsing, Johan Anstensrud, Else Ellingsen, and André Severin Nilsen.
