In this episode, I speak with  Leila Naja Hibri. 
Leila was appointed as the CEO of the Australian Fashion Council in 2020.
Leila also sits on the CSIRO Chief Scientist’s Circular Economy Advisory Group, the UTS Vice-Chancellor's Industry Advisory Board, and is a Juror for the International Design Awards (IDA).
With a background in Economics and Accounting, Leila has over twenty years of experience in business and industry leadership, particularly in Australia and Asia.
Her career has involved working with several global organizations including the United Nations, Prada and Luxottica.
Leila envisages a future business world committed to prioritising people and planet, together with profit.
This vision has driven the AFC’s mission to guide the just transformation of Australia’s fashion and textile industry towards net zero by 2050.
Leila is also an active advocate for the promotion of equality, diversity, and inclusion within society, industry and government.
During our discussion, Leila has some BIG news to share as we discuss:

The Future Leadership at the AFC
Key Industry Initiatives driving change
Embarking on and embracing the future of fashion

And so much more!
I have the utmost admiration for Leila as a thought leader and changemaker in our Industry and we have been very fortunate to have her at the helm of the AFC over the past four years.
