New York, NY—FANA has announced two new members of its sales team with the recent additions of Courtney Cufaro as VP of Sales in the Mid-Atlantic and Michael McGuire as VP of Sales, Canada. According to the company, this team expansion builds on the momentum of 2020, when the brand announced three new high-profile positions.  

Courtney Cufaro, (pictured above) who joined FANA in November 2020, will lead sales for several states throughout the Mid-Atlantic, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC Metro, and Virginia. Before joining Fana, Courtney spent more than eight years as a sales leader in high fashion retail, including at Saks Fifth Avenue, where she honed her ability to predict fashion trends and gain insights about luxury shoppers’ expectations for jewelry. 

Michael McGuire (above) joins as Sales VP for Canada, giving FANA a presence in that market for the first time ever. The company said that McGuire brings immense experience and skills to the market, with 10 years in the diamond jewelry sector, including five years each at Tacori and Hearts On Fire. Prior to working in fine jewelry, he also spent many years working in the fashion sector at brands such as Hugo Boss and Kenneth Cole.

“Courtney Cufaro will add significant strength and expertise to the Mid-Atlantic, where the brand has been steadily growing. With these additions to our sales team, we can ensure Fana continues to excel in servicing our retail partners,” commented owner Bobby Jain. “We are thrilled to establish our brand presence in Canada for the first time. With Michael McGuire leading the charge, our new Canadian retailers are in very capable hands,” added Jain.

An independent, family-owned brand since 1982, FANA is known for its bridal and fine jewelry and says it is committed to craftsmanship and beauty and playing a part in some of the most significant, joyful moments in a person’s life. In parallel with its commitment to the company's clients, FANA is also dedicated to environmental sustainability and social responsibility: using only ethically sourced material and gemstones, limiting their environmental footprint, and treating all employees and partners with respect, dignity, and fairness.
