Dr Julian Hensolt (Past Speaker)

Dr. Julian Hensolt has >10 years of work experience in various positions at the Daimler AG, such as purchasing or module strategy. Also, he pursued a PhD in supply chain management, which revealed several disadvantages of the fashion supply chain, compared to other industry segments. For instance, the fashion industry displays 6-16 times higher returns than any other e-commerce segment, clothing is still produced in batch sizes so in the end of the season a lot gets scrapped and more than 3 quarters of the clothing people own is worn less than 4 times in life. Therefore, he founded Dresslife, in order to transfer some of the findings of more innovative supply chains to the fashion industry.
