Ms. Hegedus has over 35 years of experience in the textile industry, working first with The DuPont Company, and then INVISTA, before moving to The LYCRA Company in 2019. She began working in the denim segment in 2007, bringing several important innovations to market, including LYCRA® XFIT, LYCRA® dualFX®, and LYCRA® EcoMade technologies. It was this work that heightened her awareness of the need for more sustainable solutions, and in July of 2019 she was appointed Sustainability Director for The LYCRA Company.
