Jessica Schreiber, Founder of FABSCRAP, will be stepping down from her role as CEO, effective July 2025. Camille Tagle, FABSCRAP’s Co-Founder and Creative Director, will step in immediately upon Schreiber’s exit to lead the organization in an interim capacity while FABSCRAP’s Board of Directors completes a search for FABSCRAP’s next Executive Director. Schreiber will remain a Board Member after her departure.
Leading the organization for nearly nine years, Schreiber nurtured FABSCRAP from an idea to critical industry infrastructure. During her tenure, FABSCRAP has provided fabric reuse and recycling service to 881 fashion, interior, and entertainment companies. Its operations have inspired over 11,300 individuals to contribute to textile waste reduction as volunteers. To date, FABSCRAP has successfully evolved sorting, resale, and shredding processes to save nearly two million pounds of fabric from landfill.
“I’m infinitely and incredibly proud of what Camille and I have built together, and so grateful to every member, past and present, of the FABSCRAP Team and Board. Their shared vision and commitment is what makes FABSCRAP possible,” said Schreiber. “It’s bittersweet to move on when I’m so excited about the growth of the team, the current work, and all the progress on the horizon.”
“When we first met, Jess and I immediately bonded over our dream of what FABSCRAP could be. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated partner and friend over the years, whose significant contributions have changed the organization — and me — for the better,” said Tagle. “I welcome the opportunity to continue leading FABSCRAP, ensuring that the spirit and heart that Jess and I championed remains alive in every step we take forward.”
“I’m hopeful my exit creates an opportunity for fresh perspective and enthusiasm, and space for new connections to those with even more relevant skills and experience. I’ll forever be focused on FABSCRAP’s continued growth and success,” added Schreiber. “I couldn’t be more confident leaving the organization in Camille’s capable and dedicated hands.”
“It’s been incredible watching Jess and Camille grow this organization over the last nine years into the reputable organization it is today,” said David Hirschler, FABSCRAP Board President. “I’m excited to continue working alongside Jess as a fellow Board Member as the organization continues to grow.”
Schreiber shared her departure plans with the FABSCRAP team and Board earlier this year. Her planned departure aligns with the upcoming birth of her second child and will allow her to focus on her expanding family.
