Marty Roberts
After earning his Ph.D. in Clinical & School Psychology in 2006, Marty entered the pharmaceutical industry. Nine years later, after multiple CEO positions in the healthcare field, Marty began his own medical sales & marketing start-up, enTouch, which he sold to Toho Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. in 2019.
During Covid distance-learning schooling, taking over lessons and teaching his kids the history of punk rock (music class) and teaching them to skateboard (PE), Marty decided to teach his children about art, using Tokyo graffiti as the teaching tool.
This experience made Marty realize that graffiti art is the untapped blue ocean of the art world and that NFTs, as well as street wear, could be a tools to monetize such works for artists and collectors and create a new early-cycle ecosystem to the art world. Now the CEO of www.totemo.art, the world’s first graffiti-focused digital art trading platform and related street wear products, Marty focuses daily on bringing the beauty of the streets to users around the world.
