New York, NY--The International Gemological Institute (IGI) has named Tiffany Stevens as its chief business officer and head of Sustainability for North America. Stevens succeeds Avi Levy, president of IGI North America since 2019.

Stevens, until recently, was president, CEO and general counsel of the Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC).

“Her legal and public policy background and extensive industry knowledge and relationships align with our mission to uphold the highest standards of gemological excellence,” Tehmasp Printer, global CEO at IGI, said in a statement.  

At JVC, Stevens led efforts in sustainable and transparent supply chain practices, making a significant impact on advocacy and education in the jewelry sector. Throughout her career, she addressed issues in diamond sanctions, advertising, and environmental impact through engagements with government and supply chain stakeholders to protect consumer trust.

“IGI is renowned for its commitment to scientific and ethical integrity. This is an exciting business where technology, finesse, and trust converge,” Stevens said in a statement. “I look forward to working with the outstanding IGI team to advance gemology education, promote transparency and responsibility, and uphold our core values of scientific excellence and ethical accountability.”

“It has been an honor to work with the IGI team to serve our customers and the industry,” Levy said. “Tiffany is a respected leader, and I have full confidence in her ability to drive the organization forward.”
