Since joining in 2020, Claire has led the organization through a strategic evolution to sharpen its focus and increase its impact\u2014transforming how materials are produced, chosen, and reused to benefit people and ecosystems at the source. She has championed greater visibility and fairness for raw material producers, advocating for shared investment. She works to drives stronger connections between brands and those at the origin of supply chains, while supporting brands and retailers in making the changes needed. Having come from the brand side herself, she brings a practical understanding of what transformation requires across the value chain.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to Textile Exchange, Claire built and led the sustainability, innovation, and human rights functions at Stella McCartney, establishing the brand\u2019s pioneering environmental program and playing a key role in advancing accountability and performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
