Founder Fawaz Gruosi Leaves De Grisogono

RAPAPORT… Fawaz Gruosi, the founder of De Grisogono, has stepped down
from his position as board director and left the company, the Swiss-based
jeweler said.



Gruosi had been gradually shifting away from day-to-day
operations for some time, De Grisogono added. Fawaz’s departure leaves newly
appointed CEO Céline Assimon in charge, said Elmar Wiederin, chairman of the De
Grisogono board.


The jeweler also appointed Keith Rosen as general manager for
the Americas. He will oversee operations in the US, Canada, Latin America and
the Caribbean, and assist the company with its expansion plans in the Americas
region. He was previously North America vice president for Piaget, a Richemont-owned
watch and jewelry brand.
