MJSA Leadership
David Cochran, president/CEO of MJSA, is a longtime industry veteran whose experience ranges from owning his own jewelry manufacturing operation to managing the brands of premier Fortune 500 companies. For the majority of his career (1976 to 1996), Cochran served as president/CEO and owner of R.F. Simmons Co., an Attleboro-based jewelry manufacturer. His initiatives ultimately led to a tripling of the company’s revenues as it secured national accounts ranging from Zales and Helzberg Diamonds to Amway, and also developed a healthy private-label business.
