JVC Names New President and CEO
Tiffany Stevens, who comes to jewelry from a cancer research foundation, has been tapped to replace longtime JVC leader Cecilia Gardner.
New York--The Jewelers Vigilance Committee announced Tuesday that it has selected a new president and CEO to replace Cecilia Gardner, who announced her intention to step down last spring.
Tiffany Stevens comes to the JVC from the Sohn Conference Foundation, which helps fund pediatric cancer research and medical fellowships.
Prior to that, she held leadership roles at nonprofits and foundations focused on the environment, education and the arts.
Stevens is a graduate of the New York University School of Law and began her career at the law firm of Paul Hastings before moving to an in-house role at investment bank Bear Sterns, which was sold to JP Morgan Chase in 2008.
She also is currently an active board member at several nonprofits.
She will start at JVC on March 6.
“Tiffany will be a terrific new leader for JVC,” Gardner said. “She is committed to the mission of the JVC and will work hard to learn the industry and the issues that the JVC addresses. Her strong not-for-profit background will ensure that JVC continues to thrive and meet the challenges the jewelry industry faces.”
The JVC’s board of directors, led by Chairman Steven Kaiser, began the search for Gardner’s replacement in August.
Kaiser said the search process was “extensive” and that the JVC had many well-qualified candidates apply.
