Doodles, a web3 NFT, media & entertainment brand, announces the appointment of Julian Holguin as Partner and CEO.
His move to Doodles signals an exciting new era in NFTs where Holguin will work closely with the Doodles founding team to scale and transcend the current NFT market and lean into music, gaming, premium content and consumer goods, according the company information.
Holguin brings more than 14 years of media and entertainment executive experience, where he led several leadership roles across national companies.

I look forward to helping build Doodles into one of the world’s next great brands and push blockchain and NFTs into the mainstream market,” said Julian Holguin, CEO of Doodles.
Holguin has been transforming brands with his varied experience across media, digital publishing, social media, streaming, television and live events.
