Kornit Digital, a manufacturer of on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, appoints Nick Beighton, former chief executive officer of ASOS, as a strategic advisor to the company and its board of directors. Kornit plans to nominate Beighton for election to the board at Kornit’s 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,” Ronen Samuel, chief executive officer of Kornit Digital, says. “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.”

Beighton comments: “Kornit sits at the center of one of the most important shifts happening 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.”

Having led ASOS through one of the most significant digital transformations in modern fashion retail, Beighton brings an exceptional track record in global fashion and e-commerce. Over a 12-year tenure with ASOS, he helped scale the business into a multi-billion-dollar global platform, navigating hyper-growth, supply chain complexity, omnichannel evolution, and the industry shift from inventory-based models toward more agile, demand-driven operations. His experience spans global fashion and apparel dynamics, digitally native supply‑chain innovation, and the convergence of retail and manufacturing, with a proven ability to lead organizations through structural change and disruption.

Beighton’s perspective is shaped by decades of experience leading retail and consumer-focused organizations. This experience complements Kornit’s existing board composition and adds a valuable perspective on how global brands and digital platforms are rethinking supply chains, capital efficiency, and speed-to-market.

Beighton will participate in Kornit’s upcoming Konnections 2026, where global brands, manufacturers, and technology leaders will discuss the future of fashion production.
