Explore the Universe of Auctioneering | Meet the Auctioneer: Uni Kim

Meet Uni Kim, Deputy Director and Head of Sale for High Jewelry at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. Commanding the rostrum by day and an avid video gamer by night, it turns out those same skills come in handy when auctioneering.

In this episode of Meet the Auctioneer, Uni reflects on the unexpected path that brought her from backstage staff to center stage, the adrenaline of high jewelry sales, why her auction-day rituals matter, and how gaming taught her to think fast, lead with confidence, and see the bigger picture — whether in a digital universe or a dazzling auction room.
