Tobii Director Steps Down

Eye tracking hardware and attention computing firm Tobii has announced that Board member Carl Mellander has chosen to step down from his position, with immediate effect, citing a shortage of time resulting from other commitments.

Tobii creates technology for companies, universities and research institutes, for applications in healthcare, education and training, gaming, extended reality and automotive. In December 2023 it announced a radical refocusing of its business with the acquisition of vehicle interior sensing firm AutoSense, adding c.250 full-time staff and forming a new segment within the Tobii Group.

Per Norman, Chairman of the Board, offered 'a big thank you' to Mellander, who he said had 'contributed greatly to developing Tobii's board work.' Mellander himself said: 'Given the growing scope of board work at Tobii, and considering the time required by my other commitments, I will no longer be able to devote the time that the Tobii board role deserves. I thank you for the good cooperation and wish the company all the best in its exciting continued journey.'
