About Kimberly

I’m Kimberly Pirtle — a seasoned auctioneer with Sotheby’s and a passionate advocate for the power of purposeful storytelling and connection. With years of experience commanding the auction stage, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the world’s most prestigious collections and impactful charitable organizations.

Whether I’m driving bids at the auction podium, raising paddles at a charity gala, or speaking on stage to inspire and engage, I bring a unique blend of charisma, poise, and results to every opportunity.

My mission is simple: to elevate every moment and maximize impact.
