My areas of expertise span various fields including Human Resources, Recruiting and Assessments , Team Building, Productivity issues, Multicultural Coaching, Change Management, Career Management and Work-Health issues (Stress, Burnout etc.)

Since 2013, I have the privilege of representing the Artist of Banknotes, ANTONIO NATALE, in an exclusive manner through out the world. This new challenge has been life changing for me as I have had the opportunity to invest everything I have ever learned in this wonderful new journey. As psychology grounds my feet, Art gives me wings to fly and discover new possibilities and heights to achieve excellence.
MetaGalactic
Artists
We are Marko Cenić and Luka Milinković, and we are proudly standing behind NTFs that are produced by MetaGalacticNFT. We have 7 years of experience in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies which grew organically and today brought us to start creating NFTs. Also we are the winners of CryptoVerse Island Malaga – Excellence Award and WISe.ART Excellence Award (Silver) in the Digital Art category. The name MetaGalacticNFT was chosen because it represents endless possibilities of blockchain technology and NFTs themselves not only in real world but also in Metaverse. The main goal of MetaGalacticNFT is to bridge the gap between blockchain technology, particularly NFTs and bring it closer to regular people in a safe and understanding way and make it part of their everyday life. Thus unlocking and harnessing its endless possibilities. We also strive to be a part of philanthropic movements and in every NFT collection, we plan to create and auction one NFT with all profits made from it going to a worthy cause which will make the world a better place.
Ariel Hudes
Head of Pace Verso, the gallery’s Web3 arm
Hudes spearheaded the development of Pace Verso from its inception, helping position Pace as the leading art gallery in the web3 space. She has worked closely with Pace artists, including Jeff Koons, Loie Hollowell, Robert Whitman and others, to realize their boundary-pushing NFT projects with Pace Verso. She led the formation of Verso’s celebrated partnership with Art Blocks, through which the two companies together release generative art projects by Pace artists on the Art Blocks platform.
Bringing innovative digital artworks to the fore of Pace’s program, she has played a key role in the development of Koons’s ambitious Moon Phases NFT project, through which the artist will bring a group of sculptures to the Moon. Comprising Moon sculptures, sculptures that will remain on the Earth, and NFTs that correspond with each sculpture on the Moon and the Earth, Moons Phases centers on the Moon as a symbol of curiosity and achievement.
Many of the projects Hudes has produced have included charitable giving components, leading to over $800,000 in donations to organizations such as Planned Parenthood and the NAACP.
Prior to her tenure at Pace, Hudes worked as a Project Leader at the Boston Consulting Group and received her MBA from Yale University. Her interest in digital art began nearly 15 years ago at Brown University, where she studied under and collaborated with Mark Tribe, who founded Rhizome, a digital art platform with close ties to the genesis of NFT technology.
Hudes has been invited to speak in key web3 forums including Consensus, Viva Tech, nft.nyc, and Christie’s Art + Tech Summit.
Sixtine Crutchfield
Art Director of WISe.ART entrusted NFT Platform
Sixtine studied at the University of Denver, USA for a Bachelor of Mass Communications including History of Art and History of Theatre. After graduating, she landed her first job with the Jan Krugier gallery where she became a proficient art dealer before moving to Australia.
Sixtine worked for the Australia Council, Brown’s Mart Community Arts in Darwin, NT where she was responsible for the arts development among the local and Aboriginal Communities. She returned to Melbourne and among other things, Sixtine taught French at the Alliance Française. It is there that she met Ken Armstrong and together they built a futuristic eco tourism facility on Phillip Island. She then completed a Corporate Law degree from the University of Sydney, NSW.
Upon returning to Geneva with her family, Sixtine opted for a career change and was employed as a client relationship manager at Banque Edouard Constant. This period included the introduction of the Euro currency and concerns relating to the Y2k/Millenium potential IT bug. As part of the Bank’s training programme, Sixtine was given the opportunity to study at the Geneva Business School. This was the start of a long relationship that continues with the Geneva Business School.
In 2003, Jan Krugier invited her to become Managing Director of the gallery. It was during a business trip to Moscow to set up an Art show that Sixtine was asked to manage the event and she decided to leave the gallery once again to take on the new challenge. After that, she was involved in the development of ArtbyGeneve, the Moscow and Salzburg World Fine Art Fairs, Art & Jewels Baku, ArtMallorca, as well as the development of two state-of-the-art Freeport facilities in Singapore and Luxembourg.
In August 2020, the Geneva Business School should have celebrated its 25th anniversary. Instead, to embrace the next quarter of a century, Sixtine designed a new MBA specialising in Fine Art International Management (FAIM) whereby art experts and market specialists will share their professional experience with students who can attend courses online or in person in Geneva. The MBA programme will commence in September 2021.
