Sotheby's Nominates James Murdoch for Board Election

Sotheby’s Board of Directors have finally recruited some younger blood, nominating 37-year old James Murdoch to run for a spot during the firm’s annual shareholder meeting on May 6.

Murdoch is chairman and chief executive for Europe and Asia of his billionaire father’s News Corporation, and heir apparent to run the global media company. He’s even got a quasi-racy back story: a Harvard drop-out, who ran a hip-hop company before joining the family fold. Read more on Murdoch here.

Sotheby’s current male dominated board includes: Michael Sovern, the Duke of Devonshire, William Ruprecht, Robin Woodhead, John Angelo, Lord Michael Blakenham, Allen Questrom, Don Stewart, Robert Taubman, Dennis Weibling–and Diana Taylor.
