Circularity Capital appoints Anders Brejner as Investment Director

Circularity Capital, the specialist private equity firm supporting growth stage European SMEs in the circular economy, has announced the appointment of Anders Brejner as Investment Director.

Joining the business from GRO Capital, the European tech-focused private equity firm, Brejner brings significant experience in strategy, sourcing and deal execution, as well as portfolio board observership. Prior to GRO Capital, Brejner worked in the investment team at Scandinavian-headquartered private equity firm Axcel and as an analyst in investment banking.

Commenting on his appointment, Brejner said: “Circularity Capital has quickly made a name for itself as Europe’s undisputed circular economy growth investor. At a time when businesses are driving remarkable innovations in product design, service models, and technology solutions to accelerate the transition from linear to circular, it’s a huge opportunity to be part of this remarkable journey.

“I’m looking forward to playing a pivotal role in the business as we continue to expand our portfolio. Our focus remains on growth stage companies whose circular economy characteristics are their source of sustainable competitive advantage – decoupling business growth from intense resource utilisation, generating both economic and environmental benefits.”

Andrew Shannon, Founding Partner of Circularity Capital, added: “With considerable experience, in Europe and further afield, Anders will prove a valuable addition to our rapidly-growing team. His knowledge and expertise are perfectly suited to support our ambitious growth plans.”

Brejner’s appointment follows yet another successful year for Circularity Capital. Alongside announcing the successful close of its second fund (CEGFII), the growth equity firm has added a number of innovative companies to its impressive portfolio – including CERAFILTEC, ACS, Bike Club and REBIKE.
