Edzard van der Wyck

Co-Founder and CEO of Sheep Inc.

Edzard van der Wyck is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sheep Inc., the pioneering fashion brand built entirely around regenerative natural fibres such as superfine Merino wool and cotton — sourced exclusively from farms that deliver a carbon-negative impact. Before founding Sheep Inc., Edzard ran a direct-to-consumer womenswear label. Seeing the industry from the inside — and becoming a father — inspired him to build a business that restores rather than exploits the planet. Under his co-leadership, Sheep Inc. has set new benchmarks for transparency and traceability in fashion: from regenerative New Zealand sheep farms to solar-powered European production, every garment is connected to its origins through the brand’s Connected Dot technology. Edzard frequently speaks on regenerative supply chains, natural-fibre innovation, and the real economics of responsibility in fashion — exploring how sustainability, design, and technology can work together to create lasting impact.
