NEW YORK, NY – The Jewelers Vigilance Committee has named Tiffany Stevens as its president and CEO.

She will assume her duties on March 6, succeeding President and CEO Cecilia Gardner, who served in the role for 18 years.

Stevens recently served as chief operating officer at the Sohn Conference Foundation, which funds pediatric cancer research and medical fellowships. She has previously held leadership roles at nonprofits and foundations focused on the environment, education and the arts.

After graduating from New York University School of Law, she began her career as a lawyer at Paul Hastings, then moved to an in-house role at Bear Sterns. She is currently an active board member of several not for profit organizations.

“I look forward to bringing my skills and abilities to build on the wonderful foundation of the organization and support the very bright future of its mission and membership,” Stevens said.

Gardner said Stevens will be “a terrific new leader for JVC.”

“She is committed to the mission of the JVC, and will work hard to learn the industry and the issues which JVC addresses,” Gardner said. “Her strong not-for-profit background will ensure that JVC continues to thrive and meet the challenges the jewelry industry faces.”

The Jewelers Vigilance Committee was formed in 1917 to provide education and self-regulation to the jewelry industry.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
