She will be the auction house’s senior specialist for jewelry and watches for the Northeast region.
After more than two decades working for auction houses like Christie’s and Bonhams, Leslie Roskind is moving to Hindman Auctions.
New York—Hindman Auctions has announced a new hire to its recently opened New York office.
Leslie Roskind joins the auction house as senior specialist, jewelry and watches for New York and the greater Northeast region.
“Leslie’s international experience will be invaluable as we continue to grow Hindman New York,” said Gemma Sudlow, managing director, New York region.
“Her appointment underscores our dedication to developing the firm’s presence across all collecting categories in the Northeast as we look towards an exciting fall season.”
In addition to New York, Hindman has jewelry specialists in Chicago, Palm Beach, Denver, and San Diego, with a total of 16 offices throughout the United States.
Roskind will work alongside the jewelry and watch teams in those offices and Chicago Senior Specialist, Jewelry and Watches Ruth Thuston in her new role.

During her time there, she helped the local team achieve its most profitable year since 2018, Hindman noted, expanding sales and widening the buyer base as she collaborated with teams globally.
