Kornit Digital Ltd., a provider of sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, has appointed Nick Beighton as a strategic adviser to the company and its board of directors.
The appointment reflects Kornit’s focus on strengthening its connection to global brands, retailers and digital commerce platforms as the industry shifts toward on-demand production. The company plans to nominate Beighton for election to the board at its 2026 annual shareholder meeting.
“Nick’s experience leading a digitally native global fashion platform gives him a powerful perspective on the realities brands and retailers face today around speed, agility and capital efficiency,” says Ronen Samuel, CEO of Kornit Digital. “As the fashion industry moves toward more demand-driven production models, his insight will help Kornit strengthen its role in enabling the next generation of global supply chains.”
“Kornit sits at the center of one of the most important shifts in fashion today. The industry is moving from inventory-heavy supply chains toward more agile, demand-driven production models. The convergence of retail, manufacturing and on-demand fulfillment is accelerating, and Kornit is uniquely positioned to enable this transformation,” says Beighton.
Beighton was previously the CEO of ASOS for 12 years. His experience includes navigating rapid growth, supply chain complexity and the shift from inventory-based models to demand-driven operations.
Kornit said Beighton’s experience from the demand side of the industry complements its existing board and adds insight into how global brands and digital platforms are rethinking supply chains, capital efficiency and speed to market.
Beighton’s role began April 1, 2026. He is also expected to participate in Kornit’s Konnections 2026 industry event, where brands, manufacturers and technology leaders will discuss the future of fashion production.
