Gemological Science International Continues to Establish Itself as Leading Gemological Entity
Gemological Science International has emerged as one of the leaders in the diamond grading industry, an industry with the unfortunate distinction of being populated by countless gemological laboratories with upheld practices that are more or less similar. Each laboratory utilizing a methodology of grading of diamonds by hand and by eye. While this subjective assessment style has been utilized by companies for decades, Gemological Science International noted the complacency present in the practice and believed there had to be a more efficient way to ensure the consistent quality of gems.
Mark Gershburg and Debbie Azar combined their leadership to empower Gemological Science International to separate themselves from their competition through the development of a state-of-the-art diamond grading lab. The proprietary software that is used by the company reduces the chance of human error via the automation of the grading process. In other words, the diamond grading system has finally been brought up to speed with technology of the 21st Century.
The success of GSI and Azar’s leadership brought her an acceptance into the Forbes New York Business Council. The Council is the foremost growth and networking organization for successful business leaders in the greater New York area. Every elected member of the company must be vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of their experience. Criteria for membership includes a track record as an established leader in a New York-based business.
Azar now looks to use the platform of member only meetings to discuss how Gemological Science International continues their global expansion through not only the most advanced grading philosophy but also through the growth and commitment of employees at every GSI office across the globe. The teamwork at Gemological Science International is second to none as sophisticated technology is leveraged so that every office can constantly share information in real time. This assists with continually improving operations and ensuring that GSI maintains the highest quality and most sophisticated diamond grading in the industry. Forbes New York Business Council will also allow Azar to act as a resource to others hoping to expand their business acumen and knowledgebase via original articles.
Debbie Azar spoke to the excitement of the entire company regarding the invitation to the Forbes Executive Council saying, “It is an honor to be asked to join the Forbes Executive Council, joining a peer group I feel privileged to be a part of.”
“I look forward to using the platform to show off the latest advancements in the global diamond industry and gemological field. Additionally, I plan to use this opportunity to build awareness and educate consumers about diamonds, gemstones and our industry as a whole.”
