The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) has appointed Isidore Mörsel as new president, replacing David Gotlib who stepped down in September. 

Mörsel is currently CEO of Dali Diamond Co, an established, third-generation diamond company known for its extensive vertically integrated operations. 

"His commitment to the diamond sector extends beyond his role at Dali Diamond," said AWDC. From 2008 to 2012, Mörsel served as AWDC and Diamond High Council board member where he helped shape industry policies and practices. He joined the AWDC Board again in 2020.

Sahag Arslanian of Arslanian Group NV and Amish Jain of NN Diamonds BV will continue to serve as AWDC board vice presidents, the centre announced.
