Circularity Capital expands growing team with Investment Director appointment

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

Anders brings more than 15-years’ experience in investment origination, execution, active portfolio management and realisations in the European growth sector. He has an MSc in accounting and financial management from the Stockholm School of Economics, and previously held positions at Ventiga Capital, Cinven and Procuritas as well as an independent advisor.

In his role at Circularity Capital, Anders will be leading the enabling solutions vertical, drawing on his significant experience in this sector, and be responsible for building relationships with networks and partners across Europe and managing several of Circularity’s portfolio investments.

He comments: “Circularity has made a name for itself as Europe’s leading circular economy growth investor. I’m looking forward to joining the business as we embark upon the next chapter, identifying the leaders of tomorrow and helping our portfolio companies to decouple growth from resource utilisation to create meaningful and sustained value.

“Circularity has demonstrated the collinearity between enhanced resource productivity, competitive advantage and returns. Playing a driving role in maximising the circular growth potential of our investees, while expanding an already extensive portfolio, is a hugely exciting prospect.

Andrew Shannon, co-founding partner of Circularity Capital, added: “Anders track record in supporting growth stage businesses through to exit will prove a valuable addition to our growing team. His appointment will further enhance our specialist investment capabilities and will prove pivotal in accelerating the continued growth of our portfolio.”

Anders’ appointment follows another successful period for Circularity Capital. Alongside expanding its portfolio with a number of new investments, including product traceability and compliance business TrusTrace and carbon management solutions provider CEMAsys, the growth equity firm has expanded its team through several strategic appointments.

In addition, Circularity Capital became B Corp certified, was announced as a BlueMark Practice Leader and received special recognition for its outstanding commitment to responsible investment at the BVCA Excellence in Impact Awards. For more information, visit www.circularitycapital.com.
