WARWICK – The Jewelers Board of Trade has appointed Anthony J. Capuano as president. He joins JBT from HSBC Bank N.A., where he served as vice president and senior relationship manager. Capuano replaces Dione K. Kenyon as president, who will remain with JBT until the end of April when she will retire after a transitional phase, according to a press release.
Capuano brings more than 35 years of experience in credit and lending, including more than 25 years dedicated to the diamond, jewelry and precious metals industries. In addition to his credit and lending experience, he has served on the JBT board of directors for more than 15 years.
“I am both pleased and honored to join the JBT as its president,” Capuano said in a statement. “I look forward to working with our talented staff, board and members, while continuing to serve the industry and an organization that I have enjoyed being a part of for so many years.”
Capuano serves on boards in his local community, and has been involved in the industry via the International Precious Metals Institute, where he is a member. He holds a B.A. and MBA from the University of Rhode Island.
“We are delighted that our search process identified Anthony as our new leader,” said Todd Wolleman, search committee chair and incoming board chair. “He will be a strong asset to JBT in continuing its vital mission of promoting the welfare of the diamond and jewelry industry. We all look forward to working with Anthony to ensure we sustain and advance JBT’s mission far into the future.”

Kenyon echoed Wolleman’s comments, saying, “For close to 30 years, I have known Anthony as a highly capable and experienced industry colleague; I have great confidence in his ability to bring strong leadership and vision to JBT.”
