Christie's A Message from Guillaume Cerutti, Christie’s CEO

I am writing to provide an important update and to inform you of some changes to the Christie’s Executive Leadership Team. Christie’s owners, the Pinault family, have entrusted me with the responsibility of implementing and overseeing a new organisation for the artistic and cultural activities of Artémis, their holding company. As part of this organisation, I will become President of the Pinault Collection and continue to serve as Christie’s Chairman of the Board.

After eight years as CEO of Christie’s, I will therefore transition to my new role with effect from 1‌ February‌ 2025. This new role will allow me to continue to contribute to the strategic direction of the business, while supporting the Christie’s leadership team in delivering long-term success.

In conjunction, I am delighted to announce that, with the agreement and full support of the Pinault family, and on my recommendation, Bonnie Brennan, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Christie’s with effect from 1‌ February‌ 2025.

I have worked closely with Bonnie for many years, and I am very proud to pass the baton to her. Bonnie is an industry veteran with 28 years of experience and joined Christie’s in ‌2012. She has served as the Regional President of the Americas since ‌2021.

With Bonnie as our next CEO, I am confident that Christie’s will continue to deliver the exceptional service, quality and partnership you have come to expect.

On a more personal note, I would like to thank you for the confidence and support you have shown me during my tenure as CEO. It has been an honour to work for you and I look forward to continuing to see you at our sales and events in my role as Chairman of the Board.
