YP London Holds Annual Networking Event at Renowned Saatchi Gallery with Special Guest Robert Tateossian
On November 23, 2011, AGBU's Young Professionals (YP) of London held a networking event at the well-known Saatchi Gallery in London. Robert Tateossian, designer and owner of the world-famous jewelry brand Tateossian, was the special guest at the event. Over 80 young professionals attended.
Tateossian spoke about building up his business and developing it into an international brand. A trend-setting entrepreneur who speaks seven languages, Robert Tateossian was born in Kuwait to a Lebanese-Armenian family. A former banker, Mr. Tateossian eventually moved into the jewelry business, starting out by designing cufflinks. This led to the designer becoming dubbed the "King of Cufflinks."
Following the presentation, the businessman answered questions from the attendees, who were particularly interested in Tateossian's recent entry into the Armenian market. "I had a meeting with the Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan. I had a very warm welcome in Armenia, and am happy to have representation in my homeland," said Tateossian. The event continued with a fundraising raffle, which included jewelry from Tateossian's line. AGBU YP London has organized networking events since 2009, and this event was another successful initiative by the team.
