ABOUT ELINA NURKKA
I am a sustainability professional with 10+ years of experience in the textile and apparel industry. I have worked extensively in research and development with various materials and products in the technical/performance wear sector, more recently specializing in sustainability, CSR, and ESG in the apparel industry. I work best in cross-functional environments where open innovation and cross-pollination of knowledge and ideas are enabled. Working with start-ups has developed my entrepreneurial spirit and critical thinking skills, while working with established companies has solidified my communication and reporting skills to executive team members. My technical expertise is complemented by a Master of Business Administration degree earned in 2022.
