Francois Souchet, who leads the Make Fashion Circular programme at campaign group the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, has announced that he is stepping down.

His successor will be Laura Balmond, who has also worked at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation for the last five years, first as a project manager and, since the start of 2020, as the programme manager on Make Fashion Circular.

“What a journey it has been,” said Mr Souchet on LinkedIn, “starting in 2016, when I was supporting the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s strategic partners in better understanding the opportunity of circular economy. Then in 2018, I moved to initiate Make Fashion Circular, which has been a thrilling ride since day one and led to so many exciting projects.”
