Philip Hewat-Jaboor an international art advisor to private collectors, museums and designers has been closely involved with the fair as the Masterpiece London Chairman of Vetting since its launch 2010 and is the natural successor for this two year appointment.

His keen interest and profound knowledge of so many disciplines will be an invaluable asset to the fair’s progression. I am greatly looking forward to working with Philip and the Masterpiece London Board in my new capacity that allows me to concentrate on the creative vision of Masterpiece London, essential to keeping the fair evolving and current as it matures into its next phase’.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
