Niamh is Portfolio Lead for Apparel and Textiles at Innovation Forum, where she shapes the strategic direction and growth of apparel and textiles work, from flagship events to a year-round programme of webinars, articles and industry insights.
She has a systems view of the sector, bringing together brands, manufacturers, NGOs, investors and policymakers to understand where industry priorities are shifting and where genuine progress is possible. This has built her a trusted network across the sustainable apparel and textiles world, one that gives her direct access to the perspectives shaping the industry’s future.
Her interests include circular business models, the impact of climate change on workers and communities, and innovation in manufacturing and materials. She believes sustainability should sit at the core of supply chain management, backed by clear, evidence-based storytelling.
