Under Urban’s leadership, Hypergene’s revenue grew from 250 MSEK in 2021 to a forecast of just below 500 MSEK in 2025, while profitability increased during the same period. The company executed strategic acquisitions, entered new markets, and forged key partnerships.  

Leading Hypergene has been an incredible journey,” said Urban Bucht, outgoing CEO. “Together with our employees, customers, and partners, we’ve expanded into new markets, built strong partnerships, and created solutions that help our customers make better, more confident decisions. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved — delivering value to customers while building a company positioned for profitable, sustainable growth. I’m confident Bo is the right person to take Hypergene forward, and I will remain an investor in the company. This planned transition allows me to focus on board and advisory roles, where I can bring my experience to support other organizations.

Bo Gyldenvang joins Hypergene with deep SaaS industry experience, most recently as CEO of Tacton, where he oversaw significant international expansion and strong double-digit growth. Known for his customer focus and growth mindset, Bo will lead the company’s next stage of expansion while maintaining its strategic direction and goal of reaching 1 billion SEK and above in revenue by 2029 through a combination organic growth and acqusitions.

“I am honored to join Hypergene at such an exciting time,” said Bo Gyldenvang, incoming CEO of Hypergene. “The company has a leading position in the market, with significant growth potential, a clear strategy, and a talented team committed to delivering exceptional value for our customers. I look forward to building on our strong foundation and accelerating our growth journey towards 2029 and beyond.”

Thoma Bravo, Hypergene’s owner, announced the leadership change: “We are deeply grateful to Urban for his commitment and outstanding leadership over the past four years,” said David Weiss, Chairman of the Board, Hypergene.  “His work has positioned Hypergene exceptionally well for the future — from executing acquisitions and expanding into new geographies, to forging strategic partnerships and building a world-class leadership team. We are excited to have Bo step in as CEO, whose proven track record and vision make him the ideal leader for Hypergene’s next phase of growth.”
