Swiss certification group Bluesign has appointed Jill Dumain as its new CEO. She will take over in January 2017 after incumbent CEO Peter Waeber decided to retire at the end of the year.

Ms Dumain has served as director of environmental strategy at outdoor brand Patagonia since February 2010. She has been at the company for more than 25 years in various capacities, including director of textile research and development, and director of environmental analysis. 

She has also held leadership and board positions at the Organic Exchange, Textile Exchange, and the Sustainability Working Group at the Outdoor Industry Association. She has served on Bluesign’s advisory board since 2011 representing brands.

“[Jill’s] qualifications, extensive industry experience and her proven success in coaching and motivating teams to achieve company objectives make her the ideal person to lead the further development and expansion of Bluesign,“ said Richard Shentu, chairman of bluesign technologies.
