JANOS CONSULTANTS
Janos Consultants commenced consulting in the gem and jewelry industry in 1992. The company was founded by Ben Janowski, who had held senior management positions in major manufacturing companies over the prior 20 years. Those positions included Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Feature Enterprises; Manager, Diana Division, Krementz & Co.; and Vice President, Diamond Company of America.
In the course of his career in manufacturing, Ben developed and instituted customized programs for every channel of distribution; ran extensive product development and merchandising departments; developed sophisticated computer systems for product development, merchandising and pricing; and worked with retailers in every channel in coordinating and implementing programs.
Janos Consultants has been retained by dozens of companies in a wide range of projects. These projects included working on in-depth market analyses of the US market for De Beers and other major suppliers over many years; extensive cooperation with foreign consultants on trends in the market; developing many specialized programs for American and foreign manufacturers; and consulting to foreign suppliers on entering the American market.
Janos Consultants will often bring in other consultants in the course of a project. Where specialized skills are needed, such as designers, public relations firms, web site developers, packaging and display designers, etc, Janos Consultants has resources to turn to those who have extensive experience in the jewelry trade.
Ben Janowski has also conducted government sponsored seminars in various countries on all the issues involved in preparing to enter the US market. He has guest-lectured at the University of Antwerp, and has been speaker, panelist or presenter at various trade shows and symposia.
Ben has also written many articles and columns for leading trade publications around the world.
