Sarine Tech ( (SG:U77) ) has issued an update.

Sarine Technologies announced that Chief Executive Officer David Block will step down on 30 June 2026 after nearly a decade in the role and roughly 25 years with the company. Block is credited with steering the diamond-tech specialist through a major innovation cycle, including automated rough diamond planning via its MVP platform, the Sarine Diamond Journey traceability solution and AI-powered Clarity and Color grading.

During his tenure, Block strengthened Sarine’s operational base in India, deepened ties with leading diamond manufacturers and pushed the company further into downstream retail technology, notably through a strategic partnership with De Beers’ Tracr platform and the acquisition and scale-up of GCAL. The board and Block have pledged a professional handover to preserve stability and growth, underscoring Sarine’s intent to maintain its leadership in traceability and high-end, technology-augmented diamond grading despite the impending change at the top.
