An innovative industry defining blockchain platform designed for the diamond industry has a new general manager, leading the platform into the next phase of its industry wide development.
Tracr, the end-to-end diamond industry blockchain being developed by De Beers Group, has appointed Jim Duffy as General Manager as the platform looks to move beyond the pilot phase.
