RAPAPORT... The International Gemological Institute (IGI) has appointed
Avi Levy president of its North American business, where he will be tasked with
expanding the group’s international identity.
“I look forward to growing [IGI’s] current relationships, as
well as forging new strategic alliances, with a concentrated focus on gaining
further recognition and expansion of the IGI global brand,” Levy said Tuesday.
A 30-year veteran of the fine-jewelry industry, Levy has
experience in diamond sourcing, manufacturing, product development, brand
partnerships and wholesale trade to major retailers.
“[Avi] will play a significant role in bolstering the
institute’s relationships and services offerings between the overseas
manufacturers and the US customer base,” IGI CEO Roland Lorie explained.
Levy will succeed Jerry Ehrenwald, who has held the position
since 1991, and is leaving to oversee LGDEX.org, the lab-grown-diamond-exchange
platform. Image: Avi Levy. (International Gemological Institute)
