Andrew Collins

I am an investment professional and entrepreneur who has led the development of business ventures from early-stage through to institutional capital and subsequent exit. I have particularly focused on forestry, agriculture and renewable energy business, in emerging markets. Currently I'm CEO of Miro Forestry & Timber Products, developing the business in West Africa into a vertically integrated plywood and timber products business, whilst conducting reforestation for carbon offset and credits. I have a wide network of contacts across these sectors, and in the venture capital / private equity markets in this space. I have particularly built value by developing scalable business step-by-step, being hands-on, building teams and capability organically, focusing on the key value-drivers, and personally developing each business function before incentivising others and managing overall performance.
