An innovative industry defining blockchain platform designed for the diamond industry has a new general manager, leading the platform into the next phase of its industry wide development.
Tracr, the end-to-end diamond industry blockchain being developed by De Beers Group, has appointed Jim Duffy as General Manager as the platform looks to move beyond the pilot phase.
Jim joins the Tracr platform as it reaches a pivotal moment in its growth, with the platform registering more than $100 million worth of rough diamonds since the launching of its pilot program back in January.

In his new role, Jim will be responsible for further development and scaling of the platform and leading a team of world-class diamond industry and technology experts. He will oversee all operational and commercial aspects of the venture, driving its go-to-market strategy and engagement with stakeholders.
Neil Ventura, Executive Vice-President, Strategy and Innovation, De Beers Group, said: “Jim’s skills and experiences are the perfect fit for realizing the vision we have for Tracr - a unique digital platform that will enhance long-term sustainability and deliver a range of benefits for the whole diamond industry. Jim brings extensive corporate and technology start-up experience that will be crucial to the continued development of Tracr, including successful scaling of technology-driven businesses across a number of sectors.”
