Thami Schweichler is an Amsterdam-based impact leader, driven to repair the broken apparel industry and build true circularity that enables people and planet to thrive.
With a background of building social initiatives in Africa and Europe, he founded United Repair Centre (URC) in 2022, in partnership with outdoor company Patagonia and the Amsterdam Economic Board. Providing high quality, technical repairs for over 35 brands, the social impact company employs over 50 tailors – most of whom have been refugees and tailors in their previous countries – and has hubs in Amsterdam, London and Paris (opening spring 2026).
