OUR TEAM

Joel has been intricately involved with David Feldman SA for decades, starting his work in the company with auction viewings in his teenage years. He has always had a keen interest in collectibles and is a collector himself. As well as working in the academic world, Joel has taken on a series of senior management positions in Art and auction businesses and foundations. Joel holds advanced degrees in Business Administration (Trent University, University of Arizona), Human Resource Management (London School of Economics) and Art (Sotheby’s Institute of Art). He re-joins David Feldman SA to help ensure that it continues to provide world class service to its clients. 

From just 8 years old David Feldman was already running a small stamp business. He earned honors degrees in Business Administration and Philosophy (Trinity University) while in parallel growing the business which evolved to be the world leading auctioneer we know today. David’s interests have always been a concentration on great rarities rather than high volume, succeeding with the world’s first one million dollar sale of the USA “Blue Boy” cover in 1981. This was followed by many even higher value sale records achieved and which are still held today for Switzerland, Mauritius, France, Russia, China and recently Japan. Thanks to David’s focus in this area, the company has sold more Grand Prix and Large Gold Medal Collections than any company in the history of philately. Taking once again the helm of company David plans now to continue that tradition.
