Background
Stan Renecker is a Managing Director of Acquisitions at Campbell Global, LLC, a Portland, Oregon–based institutional investment manager focused on forestland and timberland, now owned by J.P. Morgan. According to Campbell Global's July 13, 2026 announcement, Renecker led the firm's acquisitions function for more than 36 years, making him one of the longest-tenured and most influential dealmakers in the institutional timberland industry. The firm credited him with being "instrumental to the growth and longevity of the firm."
Campbell Global has more than four decades of experience and, as of December 31, 2025, managed approximately $10.9 billion in assets and roughly 1.5 million acres of forestland globally on behalf of pension funds, foundations, family offices, and other institutional investors (the firm has historically managed more than 5 million acres over its lifetime). Over his long career, Renecker oversaw the sourcing, due diligence, and execution of timberland acquisitions and divestments across multiple geographies — the core investment engine of the firm.
In mid-2026, Campbell Global announced a multi-year leadership transition: Michael Barbara (previously Head of Australasia and formerly Chief Commercial Officer at New Forests) was promoted to Head of Global Acquisitions, succeeding Renecker. Renecker agreed to remain with the firm through December 31, 2026 to ensure continuity of acquisitions leadership and strategy.
Aggregator profiles (e.g., Bloomberg) also list a "Stan Renecker" associated with the board of Les Schwab Tire Centers, another Oregon-based company; this board affiliation could not be independently confirmed from a primary source and is noted here with that caveat.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests in commercial timberland and forestland / nature-based real assets on behalf of institutional clients — a real-assets strategy, not venture or startup investing.
- Pursues a global "own-and-operate" acquisition strategy spanning North America, Australasia (Australia and New Zealand), and Asia.
- Focus on income-producing, long-duration forestry assets suited to pension funds, endowments/foundations, and family offices seeking real-asset diversification and inflation-linked returns.
- Emphasis on the full deal lifecycle Renecker managed for decades: origination, due diligence, transaction execution, and divestments.
Notable Investments
- Campbell Global's portfolio consists of timberland/forestland holdings rather than named startup companies; specific individual deals attributed to Renecker are not publicly itemized.
- As acquisitions lead, he was responsible for building a global forestland portfolio that, at the firm level, has totaled more than 5 million acres managed over Campbell Global's history and ~1.5 million acres under management as of year-end 2025.
- Campbell Global has publicly noted ongoing expansion of its commercial timberland holdings (e.g., "thousands of acres of commercial timberland" additions reported in industry press).
