Get to know our team of scalemakers

Courtney Petak, Commercial Lead
Courtney Petak didn’t enter the textile industry to be just another cog in a broken machine. As a textile engineer with years of experience developing new fabrics, she joined Syre to drive real change. Today, that mission is a reality, as her team has just secured partnerships with two of America’s biggest and most beloved brands.

Wrood Ode, Global Procurement Manager
With a background in industrial engineering, Wrood Ode, Syre’s Global Procurement & NPI Manager, has extensive experience from leading supplier establishment projects in the Asian market. Now she’s relocating to Vietnam to be at the heart of operations during the crucial early phase of establishing Syre’s first textile-to-textile recycling gigascale plant.

Christopher Onslow, Senior Feedstock Manager
As Syre's first employee in Vietnam, Christopher Onslow leads the sourcing and securing of the textile waste, or feedstock, that fuels our processes and enables the great textile shift. His mission? To find the right waste and direct it towards a new life instead of end-of-life.

Leigh Dement, Chemist
Leigh Dement didn’t need to travel far to find her dream job. Born and raised in North Carolina, the newly minted lab chemist joins Syre’s rapidly expanding research and development team in Mebane. Her mission? To break up the chains holding end-of-use polyester textiles together.

Simran Vadher, Sustainability Analyst
With fresh perspectives from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the startup scene, Simran Vadher joins Syre to develop our Life Cycle Assessment. To mark her transition into the team, we asked her to donate one cherished, yet end-of-life, garment to the textile shift.

Jad Finck – Chief Commerical Officer
Meet Jad Finck – Syre’s Chief Commercial Officer. As a global pioneer within sustainability and one of the early team members of Allbirds, Jad brings tons of expertise, experience, and energy to the Syre team and mission.

Susanna Campbell – Chair & Co-founder
She’s been with us from the very beginning – meet our Chair & Co-founder Susanna Campbell. Susanna is a highly experienced business builder, investor and board professional, in the past years focusing her time on the green investment space and currently holding board positions in two of Vargas’ other investments: Stegra and Northvolt.

Dennis Nobelius – CEO
Meet the very first employee of Syre – our CEO Dennis Nobelius. Dennis is a global profile and business leader with extensive experience from the automotive industry and pioneering green transformation, most recently from premium electric car brand Polestar. Two weeks after the public launch of Syre we asked Dennis a few questions.
