Are we losing John Pollard?

Congratulations, John! Fantastic move by IGI!
 
I am very happy for John as it is a wonderful opportunity for him. It is a perfect next step for him and he will be able to continue education about diamonds to the world.

I am equally pleased to let everyone know that John will continue his involvement with the PS community. John will be an ongoing educational advisor to PriceScope and to continue hosting our "In The Loupe" webinars.

A bit of history.
John the music teacher was searching on PS for a diamond for an engagement ring approaching 20 years ago. I got a phone call out of the blue from Don Quixote introducing himself and fast tracking his education.
He arranged with 3 different vendors to have two of the candidate diamonds to one of the vendors where he went and chose one. He never said which of the 3 super duper ideal cut diamonds won or which vendor won the business. A gentleman.
Shortly after that he became the consumer education and training rep for WhiteFlash (not sure the exact title).
Several years later John was offered a sales and training role for a Belguim based boutique cutting business as the US sales rep. John travelled the nation training retailers and supporting Wink as the online agent.
Happy to accept corrections to my memory etc.
But along the way John has taught sales people in premium international brands, lectured in overseas companies and knows more people than you can poke a stick at in a republican conference (every other gathering has fewer people in close proximity).
 
Strike up the band - Congrats John!
 
So happy for you, John…congratulations!
 
My thanks and appreciation to all of you. I am excited about this opportunity to advance knowledge and learning for the industry.

I would like to mention the reaction from Andrey of PriceScope when I first informed him about the development. No hesitation - a big smile, enthusiastic handshake and congratulations. He really reflects the generous spirit of this community and I appreciate the invitation to continue my involvement.
 
Heartfelt congratulations to you John
You are an amazing person! :clap:
 
Bravo JP!

Great step in the furtherance of your career as a world class educator!

I often tell friends and clients that I have led a truly blessed life. One of the great blessings has been my relationship with John Pollard, from his search for a diamond on Diamond Talk, to being a friend and competitor when he worked with WhiteFlash to the many years we worked together as close associates when John was working for the Belgium based boutique cutting house mentioned by Garry Holloway above.

Frankly, it was when things unraveled at that cutting house that John's friendship shined even brighter than when all was well. His friendship and support was a great gift during an extremely difficult time. I was so pleased for him to take the job with Andrey and I am not surprised at Andrey's reaction when John was offered this new position.

Congratulations John, and congratulations also to Andrey.
 
Congratulations John! It will be exciting to see what lies ahead for you and for the diamond world at large. ^_^
 
Wow, congratulations John!! So very exciting.
