De Beers announced the appointment of Sandrine Conseiller as CEO of De Beers brands. Conseiller will oversee the development of De Beers’ brands and investment in existing and new diamond markets. Her appointment follows Marc Jacheet’s decision to leave De Beers. She will join De Beers and become a member of the group’s executive committee on 1 December 2023.
Sandrine Conseiller joins De Beers from Maus Freres Brands Group where she spent eight years, most recently as CEO of Aigle and before that, group marketing & branding executive vice president for Lacoste. Prior to this, Conseiller spent almost two decades in leadership roles at Unilever spanning marketing, general management, and audit disciplines across various geographies.
Among other things, Conseiller has served as a board member and senior adviser at biotech firm Carbios and philanthropic acceleration program Raise Sherpas. She also received France’s Chevalière de l’Ordre National du Mérite honor for promoting diversity in business while developing sustainability within the French industry.
Al Cook, CEO of De Beers, said: “I am delighted to welcome Sandrine Conseiller to De Beers. Her track record as a leader of iconic, purpose-led brands speaks for itself. She has consistently driven transformation and growth. But I am even more impressed by her passion and values. Conseiller joins De Beers at an exciting time, as we grow the value of our 135-year-old brand, and share magnificent diamond jewellery with our clients around the world. I look forward to working with her.”
Conseiller said: “I am extremely excited to be joining De Beers, a truly iconic brand and the globally recognised home of diamonds. As the only diamond brand that starts at the source, I have been hugely inspired by the positive impact that De Beers diamonds create for the people and places where they are discovered. I am looking forward to working with colleagues right around the world to further unlock the potential of De Beers’ brands through linking the beauty that diamonds bring to the world with the good that diamonds do.” (Photo courtesy: De Beers)
