Siobhan Momberg
Textile Exchange | Animal Fiber Engagement Specialist
About Speaker
Following studying fashion and textile design, majoring in animal fibers, Siobhan transitioned to Mohair South Africa, an industry body representing South African Mohair at a global level. Here she played a key role in the implementation of the Responsible Mohair Standard, working with producers at farm level, and extending her reach down the supply chain to brand/retailer level.
Passionate about natural fibers, her experience has focused on comprehending the characteristics and the processes involved in producing them, including the production of raw materials at the farm level in compliance with best practice management and certification.
Alongside the implementation of good practice, comes the need to engage and work with all involved in the industry from tier 4 through to the end consumer. Her work reflects her passion for representing tier 4 production in the animal fibres sector, and she understands that fostering relationships and collaborations is essential to achieving sustainable and best practice goals throughout the supply chain.
Her role as the Animal Fiber Engagement Specialist within the Animal Materials team at Textile Exchange draws upon her knowledge and experience of the importance of networking and stakeholder engagement to drive positive change.
