I am honored to have been entrusted with a seat on the Textile Exchange Governance Board, a recognition of my decades of experience specializing in materials science and my commitment to driving circularity and sustainability in the textile industry. I hope to bring valuable perspectives from manufacturers across the value chain, ensuring that Textile Exchange benefits from diverse expertise. This will strengthen its ability to address the industry’s most pressing challenges and lay the groundwork for a future in fashion that is not only more responsible but also deeply trustworthy and reliable.
