The company said Curran played a pivotal role in the creation of “The List,” a directory of verified buyers across the global jewelry supply chain that Hill & Co. launched earlier this year.
The GDPR-compliant, AI-powered database was developed to provide businesses with more targeted access to decision-makers in retail, manufacturing, wholesale, technology, and labs.
“Amy has been instrumental in shaping every facet of The List,” said Elle Hill, founder and CEO of Hill & Co.
“From decision-maker segmentation and data quality standards to the functionality and use-case design, she’s shaped The List with the same precision and empathy she’s brought to her entire career. This promotion is both recognition and a next step—we’re building what’s next with Amy leading the charge.”
Curran said she is thrilled to continue developing and improving the new tool while in her new role.
“We built The List to remove guesswork and wasted outreach, to give businesses what they truly need: accurate, relevant, high-quality business intelligence. To help shape something this powerful from the inside has been a privilege. I’m thrilled to continue developing and improving it in this new role.”
