Tiffany Stevens, who stood down last month as CEO at the Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC), is take the helm at IGI North America.
She has been appointed chief business officer and head of sustainability, and takes over from Avi Levy, who has served as president of IGI North America since 2019.
“This is an exciting business where technology, finesse, and trust converge,” said Stevens. “I look forward to working with the outstanding IGI team to advance gemology education, promote transparency and responsibility, and uphold our core values of scientific excellence and ethical accountability.”
At the JVC she championed sustainable and transparent supply chain practices, making a significant impact on advocacy and education in the jewelry sector.
Tehmasp Printer, global CEO at IGI, said: “Her legal and public policy background and extensive industry knowledge and relationships align with our mission to uphold the highest standards of gemological excellence.”
He also paid tribute to Levy and wished him well in his future endeavors.
The IGI (International Gemological Institute) network of 30 laboratories and 19 gemology schools was bought last May by a subsidiary of Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset management company, for $570m.
