Claire Bergkamp
CEO
London, United Kingdom
Claire Bergkamp is the CEO of Textile Exchange. Since joining in 2020, Claire has helped the organization to drive forward a collective climate strategy for the industry, grounded in holistic systems thinking on the interconnected impacts of climate, soil health, water, and biodiversity.
Prior to Textile Exchange, Claire was the Worldwide Sustainability and Innovation Director at Stella McCartney, leading the global environmental, human rights, and innovation strategy for the brand. Beyond helping to secure Stella McCartney’s place at the forefront of sustainable luxury, she played a leadership role in a range of industry initiatives too.
Claire also serves on the steering committee for the British Fashion Council’s Institute of Positive Fashion and has been an instrumental part of the United Nations Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action since its inception. Her influence and expertise on environmental strategy within fashion have cemented her as a core voice in the sustainability conversation over the last ten years, as well as a leader in the call for collective, connected action.

Ashley Gill
CSO
Austin, Texas, USA
Ashley Gill grew up on a cotton farm in Texas and spent time as an agroforestry Peace Corps Volunteer in rural West Africa before joining Textile Exchange in 2010.
Ashley has held various roles of the organization, which has involved development of our International Working Groups, the standard-setting process, and guidance to dozens of companies on their use of standards as well as claims and labelling. Her background combined with her experience in the industry has provided a unique point of view on the value and need to bring multiple perspectives together.
As CSO, Ashley has been engaged in delivering a clear strategy to achieve beneficial impact across all platforms of our work, while bringing her personal and professional experiences to help bridge two worlds that are reliant on each other – the farming community and corporate brands and suppliers.
