Christine Goulay — Co-Founder
With over 20 years of experience in corporate sustainability and innovation, I am passionate about working with investors, brands, and innovators to scale the best solutions for the planet and the bottom line. I founded Sustainabelle Advisory Services in 2022 to provide strategic guidance and support to clients across the sustainability value chain, from investment thesis creation and due diligence, to sustainability roadmaps and ESG assessment, to business development and partnership structures. My field of expertise is sustainable fashion, where I have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities along the entire lifecycle of textiles and garments. I have led and contributed to several initiatives and projects in this domain, such as PANGAIA Science B2B, Kering's sustainable sourcing and innovation practice, and several board and advisory board positions. I have also lectured and published on topics such as next-gen materials, dye technologies, circular business models, textile-to-textile recycling, traceability, and impact measurement. My mission is to help accelerate the transition to a more sustainable and innovative fashion industry that benefits people, planet, and profit.
