Scott Milleisen
Spear’s Review
As global head of lending for Sotheby’s financial services arm, Scott Milleisen has worked with some of the largest and most prominent private art collectors, galleries and dealers, offering expert lending advice and capital solutions. Notable transactions include acquisition financing for a private collection of $105 million, and the refinancing and debt consolidation for a car collector at $85 million.
Currently leading a team of art specialists, he says: ‘Given the continued appreciation and strong demand for fine art and luxury goods, we seek to aggressively and responsibly grow our lending business by providing expert advice and excellent service.’
Milleisen was previously the US head of lending solutions at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, where he often worked with clients to finance HNW investments including fine art.
