Andy is the CCO at Sapro-Tech, a mycelium based materials startup providing an alternative to animal leather for fashion, automotive and interiors. Sapro-Tech's point of difference is how Sapro-Tech influences, grows & processes mycelium which is done differently to the first generation mycelium material companies. Fully sustainable, low emitting, and excellent unit economics. Andy was previously the founding CEO of Icehouse in New Zealand. Andy is an angel investor & director of multiple tech companies and has contributed to building out NZ's tech ecosystem. Andy joined Sapro-Tech because of the vision of the founder, Dr Keith Hudson to utilise technology to fight climate change, and improve our planet. Andy is in Singapore to explore partnerships with companies who wish to have access to Sapro-Tech's materials and to support the company's funding objectives.
