Mr. Yahiayan will bring his leadership experience in international
finance and on the boards of major universities and cultural
institutions to the management of the Diocese. Immediately prior to

During his 25-year career in international banking, Mr. Yahiayan has
lived in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Born in Lebanon and raised
in the U.S., Mr. Yahiayan received his Bachelor's degree from New York
University, and holds graduate degrees in Business Administration,
International Management, and Education from New York Institute of

Throughout his career, Mr.Yahiayan has had a strong interest in
education and institutions of higher learning. He has served on the

Gallatin School of Individualized Study, and the Lebanese American
University (LAU), and was previously Trustee at the Brooklyn
Conservatory of Music. Mr. Yahiayan is currently an Executive Council
Member at NYIT's School of Management. To these roles he brings his
personal perspective as an educator who has taught in universities in
Europe and the Middle East.
Prior to embarking on his international career, Mr. Yahiayan enjoyed a
long personal relationship with the Diocese and St. Vartan Armenian
Cathedral, were he was married and where his two children were
baptized. He also has a strong family connection to the Diocese
through his wife, the former Sylva Svajian, daughter of the late
Dr. Stepan and the late Dr. Pergrouhi Svajian - both pillars of the
Armenian Church in America throughout their generation.
`We are confident that Jacob H. Yahiayan will bring a broad vision,
professional management style, and a strong commitment to quality to
his new role as Diocesan Director of Administration,' said Archbishop
Khajag Barsamian, the Diocesan Primate. `We are eager to welcome his
enthusiastic, energetic, and warm personality into the fold of the
Diocesan Center.'
`I am delighted to have become a part of this organization,' said Mr.
Yahiayan. `The Eastern Diocese has a solid record of achievement
behind it, and I'm eager to add my own perspective and vision, to help
guide it to the next level.'
