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.

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.
