With the acquisition, the Talyst executive team along with the rest of the company will join the Swisslog Healthcare organization. Talyst CEO and Chairman of the Board, Carla Corkern, has elected to pursue other opportunities. The Talyst Seattle-area headquarters will become an important technology, product and business development hub for Swisslog Healthcare North America.
