Beaumont Nathan Announces Next Stage of Growth, including Launch in UAE this Autumn

September 17, 2025

All of us at Beaumont Nathan are excited to announce the next stage in our growth, with two significant appointments on our team, and a new offering for family collections.

  • This autumn, we will be launching in the UAE, joined by Lateefa Bin Hamoodah as Regional Advisor based in Abu Dhabi. A cultural strategist and patron of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, she also serves on the Advisory Board for the Art History and Archaeology Department at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi. Throughout our decade-long tenure, Beaumont Nathan has maintained a number of committed relationships in the Gulf region, but this new chapter will allow us to deepen our engagement and better service collectors in the region.
  • Kara Popowich joins us in a newly created role as Director of Client Strategy, based out of New York. A highly regarded veteran of both Christie’s and Sotheby’s, Kara most recently served as Global Head of Client Strategic Initiatives at Sotheby’s. At Beaumont Nathan, she will work closely with our partners to cultivate and develop collectors, both new and established.
  • We are also delighted to launch our service tailored to families, specifically those looking to enhance, reduce, evolve or divide their collections. Through a combination of curatorial and commercial strategy, we want to ensure that family collections not only retain their relevance and value, but that they continue to carry their legacy into the future.

Since announcing our equity partnership earlier this year (Martha Craig, Stephanie Armstrong) 70% of all our acquisitions have been completed by our growing team. We are hugely energised by the role that Beaumont Nathan can play in the ongoing evolution of the market, and are looking forward to working with the next generation of collectors.
