May 07, 2008
Dallas—The
American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) has hired a diamond and jewelry industry veteran as its new marketing manager.
Adam Graham, the new AGTA marketing manager, is a former vice president of the Rapaport Group and has also served as director of marketing for the American Gem Society. Saks Fifth Avenue most recently employed him as a fine-jewelry manager.
"We are very excited to have Adam join the AGTA team," AGTA's Chief Executive Officer Douglas Hucker said in a media release issued on Tuesday. "His experience and knowledge in the jewelry industry will have a great impact in our mission to increase appreciation and demand of colored gemstones and pearls within the trade and to the consumer."
Graham said he sees a great opportunity for AGTA to expand its role as the "authority in color."
"I am looking forward to the challenge of building the AGTA brand, increasing value in membership and reinforcing the advantages of doing business with AGTA member firms," he said in the release.
