World of Women Appoints Vi Powils as CEO to Drive Cultural Impact

World of Women (WoW), a prominent non-fungible token (NFT) collection celebrated for its representation of womanhood and female diversity, has appointed Vi Powils as its new Chief Executive Officer. This move marks a significant milestone for the project, which was launched in 2021 by digital artist Yam Karkai. The collection comprises 10,000 algorithmically generated portraits of women from diverse cultural backgrounds, fostering a community that champions representation, diversity, and inclusivity for women globally.

Powils, a seasoned figure in the crypto industry, brings a wealth of experience to her new role. She has been involved in investing, advising global hedge funds and family offices, and co-founding multiple crypto startups. Her appointment as CEO of WoW is one of her most high-profile leadership positions to date. Prior to this, she served as Director of Business Development at Pudgy Penguins, another high-profile NFT project that reached a valuation of over $1 billion during her tenure.

WoW has achieved considerable success since its launch, establishing partnerships with major brands such as Samsung Electronics, Mastercard, Michelin, FC Barcelona, Sephora, Hasbro, and LVMH’s Cloudy Bay. The collection has also donated over $2 million to charities supporting women in need and emerging female artists. The NFTs themselves hold a floor price of 0.39 ETH (approximately $1,000) on OpenSea and have generated significant trading volume since their debut. Notably, the collection is built on the Tezos blockchain, known for its energy-efficient proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.

Powils has outlined a bold vision for WoW’s next chapter, emphasizing new products and community-driven initiatives to expand the project’s impact. While specific details remain under wraps, she has hinted at several partnerships already in the pipeline. “WoW didn’t just launch a collection – it lit a fire,” she said. “It brought people together, built a global family, and proved that art with purpose can change lives. Now we get to turn that spark into something lasting: a family, a sanctuary, a place where dreams take off – and no one chases them alone.”

Katie Hegarty, chief of staff at Tezos development hub Trilitech, echoed Powils’ sentiments, noting WoW’s potential to drive long-term change in the Web3 space. “They’ve built something that goes beyond art or community,” she said. “It’s a platform where women reshape Web3. As part of the Tezos ecosystem, WoW has everything needed to turn this cultural moment into lasting change.”

Powils’ appointment as CEO of WoW signals a new era for the project, one focused on cultural impact, brand growth, and inclusive leadership in Web3. Her experience and vision position WoW to continue its trajectory of success and influence, fostering a community that celebrates and empowers women worldwide.
