“For change to happen at scale across the fashion industry, we need partnership with all constituents. I’m excited to join Recover to accelerate industry-wide adoption of Recover fiber through providing value-added solutions in a collaborative manner,” said Neville.
Neville added that a core part of his initial focus will be on “building a global customer focused sales team, increasing customer engagement levels, driving end-to-end customer facing projects, and developing sustainable material roadmaps in partnership with retailers and brands to meet their own sustainability targets.”
