Mumbai: Mr. David Kellie has announced that he will be stepping down as CEO of the Natural Diamond Council (NDC) by the end of 2025. He has expressed his decision in a post on the Linkedin.

The post says, “Following the successful signing of the Luanda Accord committing more diamond producers to provide funding support for the promotion of natural diamonds, I have advised our Board of Directors that I will be stepping down from my position at the Natural Diamond Council at the end of 2025.”

“I remain committed to the mission of the NDC through the remainder of the year, including the onboarding of new members and the launch of a successful new campaign in Q4.

My plans after the NDC? To enjoy a life of retirement, spending more time with friends and family, and traveling more. Unless something exciting tempts me to do otherwise,” Mr. Kellie added in the post.
