From Decanter:

Christie’s is set to announce the departure of its long-standing head of wine auctions in the US.

Christie’s vice president Richard Brierley has returned to the UK after nearly eight years running the auction house’s North American division.

Brierley, a British subject, will now oversee preparations for the yearly Hospices de Beaune auction in France, alongside Christies’ long-running Burgundy specialist, Anthony Hanson MW.
