“It is a rare, special and unique opportunity and challenge to join Strauss & Co, Africa’s preeminent auction house. Their work in the secondary market is helping establish standards for the promotion and sale of art, but more importantly is elevating the richness and creative distinctiveness of African art and culture. To be able to offer wisdom, guidance and, above all, constructive assistance to an exceptional leadership team led by Frank Kilbourn, a team which deeply embraces the African ethos and the extraordinary professionalism that echoes the best in the world, is a humbling but profoundly motivating experience, which I am truly blessed and pleased to undertake.”
