Avi Paz has taken the reins over from Eli Izhakoff as president of the World Diamond Council (WDC).
“Eli Izhakoff is an industry giant, who not only took our community from a state of crisis to a position of renewed strength, but at the same time instilled within us the understanding that we have the capacity and obligation to create a better life for all of our stakeholders,” Paz said of his predecessor.
WDC oversees the diamond and jewellery industry’s efforts to stop the trade of conflict diamonds.
Paz was previously WDC’s first vice-president.
