Gemma said she wanted victims to feel empowered to report sexual assaults.
“I did not ask for what happened to me. That was not on me. That is completely his responsibility,” she said.
“But I know a lot of women feel like they had a level of responsibility of what happened to them and that’s completely wrong.”
Following Holder’s sentencing, Detective Constable Elle MacLeod, who led the investigation for Gloucestershire Police, said Gemma had potentially prevented other individuals becoming victims of Holder.
She said she hoped it demonstrated that “no one is above the law, regardless of your status, wealth, or power”.
A spokesperson for Superdry previously told BBC News that Holder resigned as a director and employee of the company in 2016, and consultancy work with the firm ended in 2019.
“The case relates to an incident in 2022, long after any role with Superdry had ended,” they added.
Now the court case is over, Gemma said she had found a “sense of freedom” to move on with everything she had planned in life.
Asked how she would like Holder to be remembered now, Gemma added: “As a rapist – because that is what he is.”
