Léyoh Goodall named SVP of Growth at Worldly

Léyoh Goodall has been appointed as the Senior Vice President of Growth at Worldly, a company specializing in supply chain risk management. In this new role, Goodall will be overseeing the coordination of Worldly's commercial and customer teams to assist businesses in managing supply chain risks through the utilization of verified data.

The appointment of Goodall comes at a critical time, as challenges such as tariff pressure, regulatory changes, and heightened supply chain complexity are impacting sourcing decisions across industries. Goodall's extensive experience in sustainability, ESG, and supply chain roles, totaling over 15 years, positions her well to tackle these challenges.

Previously, Goodall led commercial strategy at Social Value Portal and held positions at UL EHS Sustainability and Bureau Veritas, where she managed client portfolios for FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 companies and focused on supplier verification for global retailers and brands, respectively.

Adele Stafford, Worldly's Chief Revenue Officer, stated that customers are navigating one of the most challenging operating environments the consumer goods industry has witnessed, necessitating a partner that empowers them to act upon real data rather than assumptions. Goodall's career has spanned both brand and supplier perspectives, enabling her to help brands establish industry standards while supporting suppliers with credible, verified data.

The company's approach to supply chain risk management emphasizes data-driven insights over estimates or averages, requiring visibility across multiple supply chain tiers, site-specific data collection, and continuous improvement.

Goodall's mandate includes ensuring customers receive consistent and coordinated support as they transition from basic supply chain visibility to more advanced risk management strategies. Customers seek comprehensive visibility of their supply chain's activities throughout the year, which should inform strategic business and impact decisions they can trust.

Goodall expressed her enthusiasm for joining Worldly, highlighting the company's unique position in serving both brands and suppliers by providing verified data and a system that acknowledges suppliers' efforts.

Since its establishment in Concord, California, Worldly has established a presence in over 97 countries, working with more than 45,000 factories. The company provides brands and retailers with visibility into environmental and social metrics at product, facility, and value-chain levels. The appointment of Goodall follows a period of significant growth for the company, marked by the addition of 58 new brands to its platform, acquisitions of Bendi and GoBlu, and industry recognition, including inclusion in the 2026 Gartner Market Guide for Sustainable Procurement Applications.
