Al Cook, chief executive of De Beers Group, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Sandrine 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. Sandrine 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.”
Conseiller will succeed Marc Jacheet who has decided to leave the business.
Cook added: “I would like to thank Marc for his support and contribution during his time as chief executive of De Beers brands and wish him great success in the future.”
