Natural Diamond Council (NDC) chief executive David Kellie has announced he will step down at the end of 2025.

Kellie’s departure follows the signing of the Luanda Accord, which commits more diamond producers to support the promotion of natural diamonds through funding.

He has led the NDC for nearly seven years. Before joining the council, he worked as head of US marketing for Watches of Switzerland and held roles at retail brands including Champion Europe Group, Ralph Lauren and Pretty Polly.

In a LinkedIn post, Kellie said: “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.”

He added: “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.”
