Sensio, a care technology provider backed by Nordic Capital, has appointed a new board of directors to drive its international growth and enhance its technology offerings. The new board includes Sabine Bendiek as Chairperson and Paula Dowdy as a board member, both bringing extensive experience in technology and healthcare.

Sensio specializes in innovative monitoring solutions for care homes and home care providers, aiming to improve operational efficiencies and quality of care. The company is committed to addressing challenges faced by residents and care personnel while reducing costs. In July 2024, Nordic Capital acquired a majority stake in Sensio to support its growth and international expansion.

Sabine Bendiek, the newly appointed Chairperson, has over 30 years of experience in technology, having held executive roles at major companies like SAP, Microsoft, and Dell. She is also involved with other Nordic Capital portfolio companies. Bendiek expressed her enthusiasm for joining Sensio, emphasizing her commitment to supporting the team in creating innovative care technology solutions.

Paula Dowdy, who has a strong background in driving international growth in life sciences and technology, joins the board as well. She has held executive positions at Cisco and Illumina and currently serves on the boards of SPT Labtech and Quantum-Si. Both Bendiek and Dowdy are expected to bring valuable insights and expertise to Sensio as it continues to expand its market presence.

Torbjørn Aamodt, CEO of Sensio, highlighted the significant contributions that Bendiek and Dowdy have made in their previous roles, noting that their international experience will be beneficial for Sensio's growth strategy. Erik Otto Nyborg, Managing Director at Nordic Capital Advisors, echoed this sentiment, stating that the new board members will help Sensio realize its potential and deliver value to its stakeholders.

The newly formed board consists of Sabine Bendiek, Paula Dowdy, Erik Otto Nyborg, Kasper Alsing, Johan Anstensrud, Else Ellingsen, and André Severin Nilsen. This diverse group is expected to guide Sensio in enhancing its technology platform and expanding its international footprint.

Founded in 2009, Sensio has established itself as a leading provider of healthcare technology, with a focus on solving care challenges for residents, healthcare personnel, and society. The company offers a range of innovative products, including the Sensio365 IoT Health platform, RoomMate for digital supervision, and Safemate mobile safety alarms. With a workforce of over 200 employees, Sensio is dedicated to creating sustainable solutions that improve the everyday lives of healthcare personnel and ensure more time for care for residents and patients.

As Sensio embarks on this new chapter with its strengthened board, it aims to leverage its technology and expertise to further its mission of enhancing care quality and operational efficiency in the healthcare sector.
