Gautam brings extensive international experience, including from his previous roles at Lenzing, McKinsey and Booz & Company.

TextileGenesis develops innovative traceability technologies that promote sustainability in the textile and fashion supply chain. Thanks to this integration, Lectra is accelerating the development of digital solutions that help brands reduce their environmental impact. With over two billion registered products, the platform serves leading brands such as Kering, Ermenegildo Zegna and H&M.
