Experience

  • Private jewelry sales, acquisitions and design at Kazanjian Beverly Hills/Drake Enterprises
    2007 - Present · 19 yrs 6 mos

    After a successful career in management with Bulgari, Boucheron/Gucci Group and Van Cleef & Arpels I was invited to join the Kazanjian Beverly Hills estate jewelry group which buys, sells, designs and appraises fine jewelry and stones. The company is 104 years old and is considered one of the premier estate jewelers in the United States. It is the home of the "Kazanjian Red Diamond" which is one of rarest red diamonds in the world today. I work primarily with private clients on sales, acquisitions and consulting. I develop and implement strategic marketing plans for the company and have created events, both on-site and off-site to promote business and ultimately increase sales.
