I was equally drawn to its culture, people, and the opportunity to be part of an organization that has such a meaningful connection to the creative community."

As GOLDEN continues to expand its global presence, Palacio's leadership will help deepen customer partnerships, align commercial strategy across regions and channels, and support the company's mission of creating and sharing the most imaginative and innovative tools of color, line, and texture for artists worldwide.
