The Clear Cut reposted this
At this year’s JCK Las Vegas I had the honor of working with the House of Botswana and interviewing heads of state and CEOs including His Excellency Mokgweetsi Masisi President of Botswana and Al Cook CEO of De Beers Group and Wesley Tucker CEO of Tracr to discuss the future of natural diamonds. Reflecting on the show I am more confident than ever in The Clear Cut’s Roadmap for the natural diamond industry, which we outlined earlier this year: (1) Partner with Diamond Producing Nations: It is time to champion the stories of nations like Botswana. The general public remains oblivious to the incredible development and equity that diamonds have fostered. Platforms such as Tracr will play a critical role in telling that story. (2) Digitization: The industry needs to digitize and do so quickly. When we started The Clear Cut we had to build a tremendous amount of custom software. It was eye opening to see the amount of business done on pen + paper and handshakes. Today’s consumer is online. We must meet our clients there. (3) Educate the Public: The misinformation and ignorance around diamonds in America is shocking. We started The Clear Cut as an educational blog to empower the next generation of consumers. The entire industry must come together and speak with one voice. As the fourth generation diamantaire (and soon to be mom) I am so excited to play a small part in creating an even more brilliant future for the next generation 💎✨

Well done Olivia Landau. It is great and refreshing to see more young people and startups being involved at such high delegation events in mining. I believe the big mining houses need to embrace and co-create with startups in order to fully benefit from the innovations available as well as ensure safety, sustainability and transparency in their operations.

congratulations Olivia, here in Europe the general information on diamonds is perhaps even worse than in the United States, we have to make up for decades of commercial blindness. It is important to have ideas
