Know our History
The initial idea created and developed in 2016 came from believing that professional meetings between women would have a positive impact and stimulate when they put them in a leadership position.
Started in Panama City, Panama on June 23, 2016 by Brazilian businesswoman Ali Pastorini, also Senior Vice President of the first Diamond Exchange in Latin America and today considered one of the main executive voices in the world sector, who felt the need to create a differentiated initiative to change the current scenario of the jewelery, diamond and precious stones sector. It was during a flight from the Middle East to the USA, after attending another international conference where the presence of male leadership predominated, she began to devise a plan to empower women through education, information and meetings and, thus, join jewelers for get to know each other, exchange experiences, knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the business.
The First World Meeting, held in Panama City, Panama, was attended by 51 participants mainly from Latin countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela but also from Israel, Italy, Romania , Russia and Turkey. It was the beginning of this successful story of growth, solidity and innovation.
Nowadays, the Association accepts men as members because we believe that for gender equality to exist, we must know how to work together with the same opportunities, without exclusion.
Currently, MUBRI members represent each facet of the jewelery and watchmaking sectors in more than 17 countries worldwide. The members are designers, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.
The main intention of MUBRI’s founders is also reflected in the management of the benefits obtained.
