Share

Phillip Bosen (pictured), the “Jeweler’s Coach” who for the past 14 years has run the Bosen Associates consultancy, will become sales manager of Chandler, Ariz.-based Coffin & Trout Fine Jewelers in May.

He will replace the store’s longtime sales manager, Dean Reiter, who is retiring after 25 years of service.

Bosen has been in the jewelry business for four decades, beginning at his family jewelry store at age 12. In addition to running Bosen Associates, he has served as director of operations and business development for Von Bargen’s Jewelry, sales trainer for Fink’s Jewelers, and store manager and trainer for Lilly’s Crown Jewelers.

Bosen is also a longtime member of the American Gem Society and has chaired its Vermont Guild for the past 12 years. In 2019, he received AGS’ Sallie Morton award, given to “individuals who have gone over and above in their service to the AGS Guilds each year.”

Bosen holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology and business from Brigham Young University and the Graduate Gemologist degree from GIA. He has also taken MBA-level coursework in leadership from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business and Harvard Business School.
