Stevens’ appointment follows the leadership handover from Frank Burkhardt (aycan) and Mike Jensen (iQ IMAGE), who both founded and led each company for over 20 years. “Frank and Mike’s strategic leadership and ability to build strong customer relationships were key in guiding both companies from inception to the respected positions they hold today,” said von Kleist. “We extend our heartfelt thanks to both of them for their commitment and leadership.” While Mike is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities, Frank is stepping back from day-to-day operations at aycan and will continue to support the company in a strategic advisory role.
As aycan and iQ IMAGE look ahead, they remain dedicated to improving patient care while increasing productivity and driving down costs by following their company values and constantly focusing on providing customers with innovative solutions with exceptional customer support.
