Minviro, the company powering trusted life cycle and supply chain data with XYCLE, has appointed Colin Farrell as Chair of the Board, effective 1st July 2025. His appointment comes as the company scales up the global expansion of XYCLE, its next-generation platform for life cycle assessments, sustainability insights, and supply chain assurance.
Colin brings a depth of international leadership experience. As a former senior partner at PwC Hong Kong, he led multi-disciplinary cross-border teams and had multiple global lead partner relationship roles. He subsequently served as the audit committee chair of a listed Canadian company. He currently sits on the governing boards of the Hong Kong Arts Festival and Youth Diabetes Action, as honorary treasurer and vice-chair respectively, in addition to other ongoing consulting, professional and NGO roles.
“XYCLE is rapidly becoming a foundational layer for environmental and supply chain decision-making,” said Robert Pell, CEO of Minviro. “We’re entering a phase of commercial scale-up and deeper international integration, and Colin brings the global perspective, governance rigour, and strategic clarity to help guide this growth.”
Colin Farrell commented: “Minviro is at the cutting edge of data-driven sustainability infrastructure. I’m excited to lead the board and help the team expand XYCLE’s global reach and support industry in meeting the urgent demand for trustworthy, transparent and actionable environmental data.”
Colin will lead Minviro’s board during a period of accelerated product rollout, international hiring, and enterprise customer growth across Europe, Asia, and North America.
