About Circle Sportswear
Since 2020, Circle has done what legacy sports brands wouldn’t: create high-performance running gear from recycled and bio-based materials — made entirely in Europe. Circle's mission is simple: reduce impact, protect the planet, and make gear that runners love. Alex brings structure, strategy, and financial discipline to Circle. Passionate runner and wellness/longevity advocate, he splits his time between Paris and Annecy, keeping us grounded in nature and purpose.
