Kornit Digital Ltd., a global leader in sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, has appointed former ASOS CEO Nick Beighton as a strategic advisor to the company and its Board of Directors. The move underscores Kornit’s commitment to strengthening its engagement with global brands, retailers, and digital commerce platforms as the industry shifts toward demand-driven production models. The company also intends to nominate him for election to its Board at the 2026 Annual Shareholder Meeting.
Kornit CEO Ronen Samuel highlighted that Beighton’s experience leading a digitally native global fashion platform provides valuable insight into the challenges faced by brands today, particularly around speed, flexibility, and capital efficiency. As the fashion industry increasingly adopts on-demand production, his expertise is expected to support Kornit’s role in enabling next-generation supply chains.
Nick Beighton emphasized that Kornit is positioned at the forefront of a major transformation in fashion, as the industry transitions from inventory-heavy models to more agile, demand-led production systems. He noted that the growing integration of retail, manufacturing, and on-demand fulfilment is accelerating this shift, with Kornit playing a key role in enabling this evolution.
During his 12-year tenure at ASOS, Beighton played a pivotal role in scaling the company into a multi-billion-dollar global platform. He successfully navigated rapid growth, complex supply chains, and the shift toward more flexible, digitally driven operations. His expertise spans global apparel markets, e-commerce innovation, and the convergence of retail and manufacturing, along with a strong track record in leading organizations through periods of transformation.
Bringing a demand-side perspective shaped by years of experience in retail and consumer-focused businesses, Beighton’s appointment complements Kornit’s existing leadership. His insights are expected to enhance the company’s understanding of how brands and digital platforms are rethinking supply chains, improving efficiency, and accelerating time-to-market.
Beighton’s advisory role will begin on April 1, 2026. He is also set to participate in Kornit’s upcoming Konnections 2026 industry event, where global brands and industry leaders will gather to explore the future of on-demand fashion and digital production.
