The London Diamond Bourse is pleased to announce significant changes within its Council of Management aimed at ensuring the continued growth and success of the organisation. After careful consideration and unanimous approval from the committee, the following decisions were made:
Joint Presidency, during last year’s annual general meeting, Alan Cohen, the current President, announced that this year would mark his final term in office. As President, Alan holds key positions within the World Federation of Diamond Bourses’ Executive Council and the World Diamond Council, among others.
To allow Alan to focus on these critical responsibilities, and with unanimous support from the committee, it has been decided that, effective January 18, 2024, the current Vice President, David Troostwyk, will assume the role of Joint President alongside Alan until the 2024 AGM when Alan will officially step down.
Commenting on his new position, Troostwyk said, “I am delighted my peers have put their trust in me to lead the London Diamond Bourse as their joint President. Working alongside President Alan Cohen for the remainder of his term, I look forward to learning and contributing to the valuable work he has undertaken for the Bourse.
My aim is to further enhance the value we offer to our members. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity and committed to the continued success of the London Diamond Bourse.”
This decision was made with a strategic focus on the organisation’s growth and future endeavours, as well as to allow Alan to concentrate on addressing current industry challenges.
