About Ashlee Gutshall

I’m driven by curiosity and bold ambitions.My journey into the apparel industry started with a fascination for textiles and production in South Africa—the blend of engineering, calculated risks, and teamwork sparked my passion for hands-on, technical work. I thrive on challenges and am always looking to grow, both personally and professionally.Outside of work, I stay active in my community. As President of the Emerald City Netball Club and a volunteer with The Mission Continues, I’m committed to fostering connections and making a positive impact. Playing on netball and ultimate frisbee teams has brought me lifelong friendships and taught me the true value of teamwork. With a background in Business and Sustainability, I’m also passionate about tackling the climate crisis. I strive to find ways to reduce my environmental footprint and help protect resources for future generations.My dreams are big, and I’m committed to doing what it takes to achieve them.
