By Rob Bates | January 08, 2026

Christie’s has promoted Kimberly Miller to global managing director for its luxury division, the auction house said in a statement.

Miller previously served as Luxury’s regional managing director in the Americas, leading business strategy, sales, and finances across the jewelry, watches, wine, and handbags departments. In her new role, Miller will continue to be based in New York City.

Her appointment follows what the statement called an “exceptional year for Christie’s Luxury.” It said the November sale of the Mellon Blue for $25.6 million was the highest‑value jewelry lot sold at auction in 2025. Overall, Christie’s luxury categories realized $795 million, up 17% from the prior year.

Prior to joining Christie’s Luxury, Miller worked for both Freeman’s and Sotheby’s. She started her career in Christie’s’ wine department in 2010.
