A 28-year veteran of the world of corporate finance is the newest member of Gemological Institute of America’s (GIA’s) board of governors.

Lisa Locklear is former senior vice-president and chief financial officer (CFO) of Ingram Micro, Americas, overseeing the $18-billion North America and Latin America regions’ finance organization and supporting business operations, including credit, accounting, reporting, planning, and strategy.

“We are fortunate to have Lisa join the GIA board of governors,” said Susan Jacques, GIA board chair and president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Borsheims Fine Jewelry and Gifts. “She is a wonderful addition to our diverse board of global leaders and her expertise in finance is a perfect fit as GIA builds for a global future on the firm foundation of its 81-year history. We look forward to ensuring the public trust in gems and jewellery around the world.”

In related news, Fred Levinger, Roland Naftule, and Steve Relyea retired from the board of governors.

“The contribution of these three governors is beyond measure,” Jacques said.  “We are so grateful for their support for GIA’s mission and valuable contributions to the growth and global expansion of the institute.”
