PRESS RELEASE
AMANDA KEOGH JOINS CIRCA GROUP AS GENERAL MANAGER, SUSTAINABILITY AND MARKETING
OSLO, NORWAY – 29 June 2021 – Sustainable biochemicals company Circa Group AS (stock symbol: CIRCA) welcomes Amanda Keogh to the company as General Manager, Sustainability and Marketing, starting on 1 July 2021.
Amanda has considerable experience in the development and implementation of sustainable practice with award-winning corporates in Ireland, Australia and Asia Pacific.
Following the successful IPO in March 2021, this new role increases Circa’s capability to engage with a wider range of stakeholders - including investors, governments and key end users.

This role is an important step in the Circa journey as we build and expand both our capacity and product portfolio building off our low carbon manufacturing base.”
