Founder Steven Lagos to Continue as Executive Chairman, Creative Director and Innovation Officer
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LAGOS, the fine jewelry brand known for its signature Caviar designs, today announced that Keith Rolfe, who currently serves as CFO and COO, has been appointed president and CEO, effective immediately. As CEO, Rolfe will assume responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and management of the company, guiding LAGOS through its next phase of growth and organizational development.
Steven Lagos will continue to serve as executive chairman, creative director and innovation officer, remaining focused on the creative vision of the brand, product innovation, design leadership, and stewardship of the LAGOS heritage.
The leadership transition represents an important milestone in the evolution of LAGOS from a founder-led company to a scalable, CEO-led enterprise with expanded executive accountability, stronger governance, and a deeper leadership structure designed to support long-term growth.
"Nearly fifty years ago, I founded LAGOS with a vision to create a lasting luxury brand built on creativity, craftsmanship, and enduring customer relationships," said Steven Lagos, executive chairman, creative director and innovation officer. "One of the most important responsibilities of a founder is preparing the company for its future. Keith has been an exceptional leader, trusted partner, and steward of our business. I have complete confidence in his ability to lead LAGOS into its next chapter."
As president and CEO, Rolfe will oversee strategy, operations, financial performance, organizational leadership, customer growth, and enterprise decision-making across the company. The transition also includes expanded responsibilities across the executive leadership team as LAGOS continues to develop leadership depth and enhance organizational effectiveness.
"I am honored to lead our legacy brand and to continue working closely with Steven to advance its growth," said Rolfe. "Together, we will ensure that LAGOS remains strong, dynamic, and well positioned for long-term success."
"This is not a change in who we are," said Lagos. "It is a strengthening of how we lead. Our commitment to our customers, our partners, our employees, and the values that have guided LAGOS since 1977 remain unchanged."
