Agreena appoints new board chair

Soil carbon platform Agreena, headquartered in Copenhagen and with an international hub in London, has appointed Cameron McLain as chair of its board of directors as the company enters its next phase of commercial growth.

Cameron, co-founder and managing partner of Giant Ventures, has been an Agreena board member since 2021 after supporting the company’s seed funding round. 

He brings experience in scaling technology businesses and supporting companies through international expansion.

Cameron succeeds founding chair Jytte Rosenmaj, who has led Agreena’s board since the company's inception and played a key role in developing its early strategy and growth.

Cameron said: “Our soils can be one of the most powerful carbon sinks on the planet – if we get the economics and technology right for farmers. 

“That has been Agreena’s conviction from the beginning. 

“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Simon and the team since 2021 and have watched the company grow from three people into Europe’s leading soil carbon platform. 

“I’m honoured to become Chair and look forward to working with Simon, the board and the wider team as we build one of Europe’s defining climate technology companies.”

The leadership transition comes as Agreena continues to expand its regenerative agriculture platform, which now covers more than five million hectares of arable land across 20 markets. 

The company will focus on international growth, commercial scale and supporting farmers in adopting sustainable practices.
