AMSTERDAM, July 29, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Digital fashion outlet Otrium, known for its innovative approach to tackling the fashion industry's excess inventory issue, has elevated Zuhairah Washington to the position of global CEO. Washington joined Otrium in 2021 as President and COO and will now be spearheading the company's growth and managing all global operations. Her focus will be driving profitability in Europe and maintaining growth momentum in the U.S., which saw a 500% increase in members last year.

“I feel extremely fortunate to lead a company that provides consumers of all socioeconomic backgrounds with access to the world's top premium fashion brands at affordable price points in pursuit of a larger mission - ensuring that all clothing that is produced is worn," said Washington. Co-founder Max Klijnstra will assume the role of Chief Sustainability & Growth Officer, further embedding the company's mission in its growth strategy. "We envision a future where every piece of clothing produced is worn. As Otrium's business grows, we will continue to help decrease the number of garments ending up in landfills," said Klijnstra.
