Black Platinum Gold’s CEO Viola Palescandolo to Share Insights about Turning Passion into Profit at the 2022 Women|Future Conference

Black Platinum Gold is pleased to announce Viola Palescandolo as a speaker at the 2022 Women|Future Conference, held virtually from November 8-10.

Former naval engineer, luxury superyacht expert and passionate traveler, Viola Palescandolo founded Black Platinum Gold in 2017, first-of-its-kind company and the only luxury travel auction platform in the world. The firm provides a unique connection between travelers and hospitality by selling at auction exclusive and renowned hotel stays and vacations across the globe.

In June 2022 the company helmed by Palescandolo entered the NFTs market with the project “Unlocking Uniqueness”, selling at auction ultra-luxury experiences in the real world as NFTs.

Palescandolo owns 100% of the company and is deeply involved in every aspect of management and business development.
Her business model is based on a virtuous cycle, which generates real value for all the involved parties (travellers, hotels, destinations, brands), going far beyond a regular “services in exchange of a fee” model.

Born and raised in Naples (Italy), Viola Palescandolo lived in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Verona and Milan.

The Women|Future Conference is a professional and personal development, learning, and networking conference hosted by The Stevie® Awards, the world’s premier business awards. Driven women around the world attend the conference year after year to be inspired, build resilience, and share insights into changes that impact their industries, their careers, and their lives.

Viola Palescandolo will be speaking on a panel on the Entrepreneurship track titled ‘Turning Passion into Profit’ on November 10.

“Rather than focusing on how to profit from your passion, invest all of your energies, time, commitment and resources into building your purpose. That is  priceless ―and profit will follow”― Viola Palescandolo, Founder & CEO of Black Platinum Gold

The Women Future Conference was created to complement the highly successful Stevie® Awards for Women in Business competition to give high-achieving women professionals, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs a place to come together, share ideas, and network.
