Driving Innovation:

Expertise & Impact:

My leadership in material innovation is centered on creating a regenerative future for textiles and beyond.

My expertise includes:

Strategic Product Innovation:

Spearheading product innovation, translating advanced patent-pending mono-material technology into practical, turn-key circular solutions. This involves a deep understanding of textile composition and chemistry, from initial fiber extrusion to finished product.

Advanced Textile Development:

Innovating textile chemistries and manufacturing processes, including knitting, weaving, and injection molding, to deliver 100% recycled and recyclable mono-material products designed for superior performance and circularity.

Leading demand planning through strategic off-take agreements and commercial contracts to ensure predictable market uptake of new sustainable materials.

Commercialization & Market Integration:

Value Chain Acceleration:

Accelerating material adoption by setting industry standards and strengthening partnerships across the entire value chain—from raw material to fabric mills, trims, and manufacturers.

Collaborative Development:

Securing joint development and manufacturing agreements with strategic partners, suppliers, and clients, leveraging in-kind resources (expertise, infrastructure) to expedite innovation.

Scalable Production:

Strategically scaling material innovation from pilot extrusion to commercial production, covering processes like carding, spinning, and texturizing for both continuous filament and staple yarn.

Risk Mitigation:

Integrating material innovations into client strategies, aligning financial goals, and mitigating supply chain risks associated with new material adoption.

Circular Economy Leadership:

Accredited as a Circular Economy Pioneer through The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and certified through the Sustainable Design Entrepreneur program from the Fashion Institute of Technology, empowering organizations with the sustainable and circular solutions they need for significant impact and growth within planetary boundaries.
