Jade Trau Makes 2 Senior Hires
Victoria Scott and Gabriella De Vivo have joined the brand in the midst of an expansion.

Gabriella De Vivo is the company’s new director of wholesale, joining Jade Trau after 6 1/2 years as the wholesale director at Monica Rich Kosann.
De Vivo also spent nearly four years as an account executive at David Yurman and held roles at Saks Fifth Avenue and Ralph Lauren.
Victoria Scott joins the Jade Trau team as global business development and communications director after nearly five years as head of press at Suzanne Kalan.
A fine jewelry specialist, she has more than 15 years’ experience working with world-renowned brands such as Suzanne Kalan, David Morris, Garrard, and Coca-Cola.
Scott has a proven track record of delivering successful brand and marketing campaigns, securing high-value retail partnerships, and curating both consumer and business-to-business events that support business development and sales growth.
She said, “It is such an exciting time for fine jewelry right now, with so much attention and focus on the category from retailers and consumers. I am looking forward to being part of the continued expansion of this incredible brand outside of the United States.”
This spring, Jade Trau will continue to expand into the European and Middle Eastern markets, while also reopening its seasonal flagship store in Southampton, New York.
The brand first opened its Southampton boutique over Memorial Day weekend in 2021.
