As an accomplished sustainability, sourcing and operations executive with a 15-year track record in driving operational excellence in global apparel and accessories, I am passionate about turning complex challenges into competitive advantages. My diverse experience spans not-for-profit, FTSE100 companies, and founder-led private firms during rapid growth and private equity investment.In recent senior leadership roles, I have successfully led the creation and execution of comprehensive value chain and sustainability strategies, from concept to customer. My approach consistently delivers strong commercial results - such as a 25% reduction in supply chain costs - while driving positive social and environmental impact. I am committed to leading, coaching, and mentoring high performing teams to achieve these goals. My expertise in sustainability is backed by deep understanding of multiple initiatives, levers, frameworks and the regulatory landscape, honed through studies at the London School of Economics and active engagement with a wide variety of industry stakeholders. Currently, I support the EU Commission's working group on specifics of the EU Strategy for Sustainable Textiles, transforming complex legislation into actionable roadmaps for businesses. Since moving into an advisory role in 2024, I can be available for interim projects, fixed term contracts, or fractional senior/executive positions. I partner with purpose-driven organisations committed to embedding positive social, environmental and governance principles into their operations holistically, for tangible, material results.Let's connect to explore how we could drive sustainability and operational excellence together.
