Collaboration
Built on the Right
Relationships
GES GLOBAL does not scale alone. We scale by partnering with the world's best research institutions, technology companies, and creative minds. Our partnerships are not logos on a slide -- they are working relationships that produce capability no single organization could achieve alone.

The Organizations Behind the Platform
Travis Blaise
Art Direction & Creative Vision
Travis Blaise is one of animation's most celebrated figures — a 30-year veteran of the industry whose career began with a 14-year run at Walt Disney Feature Animation. Starting through Disney's internship program, he brought to life some of the studio's most iconic characters across every major 2D production from Beauty and the Beast through Brother Bear — including Frollo, Shan Yu, the Huns, Stitch, Koda, and Goofy. After Disney, Travis continued as an animator, story artist, and director across Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Netflix, and Warner Bros., working on productions including Big Mouth, Disenchantment, and DC League of Super-Pets. As the founder of Sketch to Animate, he has dedicated himself to the craft of visual storytelling — and now brings that same mastery to GES GLOBAL, directing the artistic vision behind flagship installations and translating client intent into material concepts that GES engineers and builds.

Trained as a painter, Coro built his career at the intersection of fine art and concept design, working across gallery exhibitions, entertainment IP, and large-scale visual development.

Our Approach
We Do Not Collect Logos. We Build Capabilities.
Every GES GLOBAL partnership exists because it makes both organizations stronger in a specific, measurable way. We are not interested in partnerships that look good on paper. We are interested in partnerships that produce things that could not exist without both of us.
If you have a capability that complements ours -- material science, distribution access, creative vision, technology -- we want to hear from you. The conversation starts with a simple question: what can we build together that neither of us can build alone?
