Global Fashion Agenda CEO Eva Kruse has decided to step down after 15 successful years. As per reports, Kruse will now join Panagaia, a material science company. However, she will continue to be on the board of directors of Global Fashion Agenda, which she helped shape from an idea around sustainable fashion into a professionally managed foundation.

Global Fashion Agenda’s nomination committee is currently conducting a systematic search process for a new CEO that will implement and build on the successful strategy signed off by the board in 2018. In the meantime, the foundation will be jointly led by Travis Peoples, Chief Operating Officer, and Niels Eskildsen, Chairman.

Global Fashion Agenda aims to mobilize the international fashion industry to transform the way it produces and consumes fashion. It organizes the Copenhagen Fashion Summit which offers a meeting platform for the fashion sector’s decision-makers and creatives to learn from and engage with industry frontrunners, leading NGOs, experts, policy-makers and academia, and come together on making sustainability a strategic priority.
