(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — Fana, the leading bridal and fine jewelry brand, continues its growth of the sales team with the recent additions of Courtney Cufaro as vice president of sales in the Mid-Atlantic and Michael McGuire as vice president of sales, Canada. This expansion builds on the momentum of 2020, in which the brand announced three new high-profile positions.

“We are thrilled to establish our brand presence in Canada for the first time. With Michael McGuire leading the charge, our new Canadian retailers are in very capable hands,” commented owner Bobby Jain. “Courtney Cufaro will add significant strength and expertise to the Mid-Atlantic, where the brand has been steadily growing. With these additions to our sales team, we can ensure Fana continues to excel in servicing our retail partners.”

Courtney Cufaro, who joined Fana in November 2020, will lead sales for several states throughout the Mid-Atlantic, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC Metro, and Virginia. Before joining Fana, Courtney spent more than eight years as a sales leader in high fashion retail, including at Saks Fifth Avenue, where she honed her ability to predict fashion trends and gain insights about luxury shoppers’ expectations for jewelry.

Michael McGuire joins as Sales VP for Canada, giving Fana a presence in that market for the first time ever. Michael brings immense experience and skills to the market, with 10 years in the diamond jewelry sector, including five years each at Tacori and Hearts on Fire. Prior to working in fine jewelry, he also spent many years working in the fashion sector at brands such as Hugo Boss and Kenneth Cole.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
