Vice President of Advanced Technological Developments at Tapestry, David Wright, has been appointed to Leather Working Group’s Board.
He brings more than 35 years of expertise in the leather industry from a career spanning tanneries, the chemical supply chain, and luxury leather goods.
Having been involved with Leather Working Group since its inception in 2005, he has played a vital role across many areas of LWG's work, including the Technical Subgroup and the Standards Development Programme Board, as well as serving previously on the LWG Board. His long-standing commitment and collaborative approach will be invaluable as Leather Working Group drives change across the industry.
Everyone involved with Leather Working Group would like to take this opportunity to thank Thomas Gregor, who, as Chair, has guided the organisation through a period of significant change over the past two years. At the Board’s request, he will remain closely involved as an independent advisor, ensuring a smooth transition.
Please join us in welcoming David Wright to his new role and in expressing our gratitude to Thomas Gregor for his leadership and continued support.
