Gerd Willschütz Email & Phone Number

As the COO of ColorDigital, a company I co-founded with Olaf Kölling in 2013, I am dedicated to driving the digitalization of the textile supply chain and promoting sustainability in the industry. Throughout my career, I have been a passionate advocate for the transformative power of digital technology in the fashion industry. I believe that "it is only when we are able to make fully informed digital decisions, supported by physical evidence, that digital workflows can reach their full potential in the supply chain." This belief has guided the development of the ColorDigital DMIx ecosystem into a holistic approach to digital product development within the supply chain, with a focus on sustainability and collaboration.I began my career as a designer at the German Fashion Institute in 1998, where I was instrumental in the development of the Institute. Going digital within the textile supply chain was evident to me from the beginning, and I have been working towards that goal ever since. In my role as COO of ColorDigital, I have led the company to impressive growth, expanding from a team of two to over 20 employees and from zero to over 300 customers in just seven years. I am proud of the accomplishments we have achieved at ColorDigital, and grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside Olaf and the rest of our talented team. You guys’ rock! In addition to my passion for digital technology, I am also deeply committed to fostering collaboration within the supply chain. I believe that collaboration is key to driving innovation and progress in the industry, and I am always seeking out new opportunities to work with others towards a more sustainable and transparent future. I am excited about the possibilities that the present and future hold for digital technology in the fashion industry, and I am dedicated to driving positive change through my work at ColorDigital.
