“We are excited about Maarten joining our team and to head up the distribution of our diamonds in the United States,” says Mike Botha, president of Embee Diamonds in Saskatchewan. “A visionary, Maarten is the perfect fit for our company. His expert knowledge of the industry and the market, as well as his pleasant demeanour and communication skills, will serve our clients well.”
De Witte began his diamond-cutting career 35 years ago when he apprenticed at the American School of Diamond Cutting, eventually becoming its director.
“I greatly admire the work of Mike Botha and his entire team,” he said. “I look forward to working very closely with [this] family-owned and operated business to extend its galaxy of independent jewellery retailers in the United States.”
