Pinky Jalui joins the lab with more 20 years of experience in the gem and jewelry industry, bringing her knowledge of the diamond industry to the role.
In her new role, she will be responsible for expanding GSI’s reach and creating new business opportunities globally.
Jalui said: “I am excited to join a company with a long-standing reputation for providing expert diamond and gemstone certification services. I look forward to working with the team to drive global growth and bring our services to new markets.”
