Bonhams names Jakob Greisen to motoring department

Greisen will assume his new position in Bonhams’ San Francisco office in February and, with his renowned expertise, will help augment one of the world’s oldest and most capable auction houses.

A native of Denmark, Greisen is a lifelong automobile enthusiast. He is well known in the collector car hobby on both sides of the Atlantic, extremely knowledgeable about the collector car market, and brings many years of experience.

“Jakob is a great addition to our world-wide motorcar team,” said James Knight, Bonhams group motoring director. “His impressive background and record of success give him strategic perspective, and we’re fortunate to be welcoming him aboard next year.”

Having advised major car collections in America and Europe, as well as holding positions at classic car brokerages in the U.S., at Aston Martin of Denmark, and most recently as a leading specialist responsible for auction sales at many of the world’s major motoring events, including the annual Pebble Beach auction, Greisen’s extensive experience with some of the rarest and most valuable cars has given him a distinct set of skills that will greatly complement Bonhams’ position as a global auctioneer of classic vehicles.

In the coming months Bonhams will be hosting an exciting roster of motorcar auctions, including:

• Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands, England, Dec. 3
• Scottsdale, Ariz., Jan. 17
• Grand Palais, Paris, Feb. 7
• Boca Raton Concours d’Elegance, Florida, Feb. 23
