About Us

Ambercycle is a startup revolutionizing fashion by transforming end-of-life textiles into high-quality yarns and fabrics—without relying on petroleum or new agricultural inputs. Our first product,

cycora®, is a premium material with a significantly lower environmental footprint. We’re currently scaling production with a new plant in Asia. Using our technology, we are fundamentally changing the fashion industry and building the infinite textile ecosystem. For more information, [email protected] IG.

Stakeholder Engagement: Prepare executives for board, investor, and government meetings; occasionally serve as delegate for internal and external engagements.

Continuous Improvement: Lead initiatives to reduce cost, schedule slip, and safety incidents.

Team Development & Culture: Mentor junior team members and reinforce ahigh‑performance culture across LA and Asia teams.
