Long-serving Gemfields executive board member Sean Gilbertson, who was recently appointed executive director of Pallinghurst, is the new CEO of Gemfields, the coloured gemstone mining and marketing company that has delisted from the London Aim and is now an unlisted subsidiary of Pallinghurst. After almost a decade with Gemfields and Kagem, Gilbertson will be working with a new board, dominated by Gemfields veterans, the company said in a release to Creamer Media’s Mining Weekly Online. As longest-serving executive director of Gemfields, Gilbertson replaces former CEO Ian Harebottle, who has resigned to pursue other business interests.
