Vaughan has a tech background, having served as nonexecutive chairman of VividQ, a developer of holographic technology for video games, and chair of Sondrel, a specialist in semiconductor design.
Vaughan’s experience “will help Opsydia as it continues its growth from its foundations in gemstone security into its next applications in semiconductor and diamond-based electronics,” CEO Andrew Rimmer said a statement.
Vaughan takes over from Jonathan Kendall, who will remain a nonexecutive director of the company, supporting its work in gem and diamond security and traceability. Kendall is vice president of CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation.
