Diamcor Mining says recently retired Tiffany & Co. executive Wayne Howard, has joined the company’s board as an independent director.
“I am very pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Howard to our Company’s board as an Independent Director,” said Diamcor chief executive Dean Taylor.
“Having collaborated with Wayne at Tiffany & Co. over the years on the current and future direction of the diamond industry, and the growing complexities of securing supplies of non-conflict natural rough diamonds, I could not think of a better person to assist our company at a time when our desire is to grow our business and position ourselves as a key additional source of rough diamonds to reputable diamantaires and luxury retailers.”
Howard has held various senior executive positions over his extensive career including vice president finance, executive vice president global operations, director of marketing and sales and business owner.
Diamcor said Howard also has extensive knowledge of the diamond industry and well-established relationships with key industry players.
Meanwhile, the diamond company said it has agreed to grant Howard options to purchase 3 million shares to be priced at $0.10 per share.
