ABOUT JULIA GILLESPIE

As VP of Sustainability, I bring a deep commitment to sustainability and over 20 years of experience driving marketing and environmental initiatives in the commercial interior design industry. As Vice President of Sustainability at Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering, I lead our efforts in environmental stewardship, advancing sustainable product development, and continue to work to drive positive change across the industry.My sustainability journey began in 2005 when I helped launch Crypton Green, a groundbreaking product that married lower chemistry and recycled content. I later launched Crypton C-Zero, a fluorine-free solution, and as VP of Marketing, helped steer the company’s strategic shift away from PFAS and fluorine-based products to a PFAS-free product with the same performance. In my previous role as Director of Marketing at the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), I orchestrated their inaugural \'Sustainability Month,\' curating impactful content and moderating a virtual Sustainability Summit. This event allowed the K+B design industry to engage with sustainability at a deeper level.At Momentum, I continue to build on the company’s rich legacy of sustainable firsts and commitment to innovations that consider the health and well-being of people and the planet. I work closely with our teams on thoughtfully sourced materials and practices, sustainable innovations, reducing energy usage and waste, and elevating awareness about the importance of sustainability in our space. My role is rooted in collaboration, creativity, and a constant drive to develop solutions that balance innovation with environmental responsibility.Together with our talented team, I aim to set new standards for sustainability that inspire lasting, positive change.
