Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The Company is in search of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with a strong vision and a proven track record in driving the commercialization of innovative technologies. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining and executing the company's growth strategy, attracting and managing investment, and establishing strategic partnerships within the textile, apparel, and recycling value chain. This pivotal role demands a leader who can seamlessly blend entrepreneurial spirit with operational discipline, capable of scaling the company from its early-stage, science-based roots to a globally recognized, commercially successful enterprise. The ideal CEO for the company will be at the forefront of redefining materials in the synthetic age, particularly in the development of engineered cotton filaments that can compete with high-value petroleum-based fibers. The role requires a deep understanding of the global textile and industrial fiber market, with a focus on sustainability and circularity. The CEO will work closely with the research and development team to leverage the company's patented technology and closed-loop process, which transforms solid cotton cellulose into high-performance filaments while retaining the desirable attributes of cotton. A strong background in the soft goods industry, including the apparel, home furnishings, and industrial markets, is essential, as is the ability to build and lead a team that is passionate about revolutionizing the textile manufacturing landscape.
