The US Embassy in Zagreb congratulated Nicole McGraw on platform X, sharing a photo of her with President Donald Trump, and expressed eagerness to work under her leadership to advance US interests and strengthen ties between the two countries.
McGraw, a Florida resident and practicing Catholic, is recognized as a dynamic entrepreneur, philanthropist, and leader in international cooperation across art, technology, and business.
She previously ran a globally recognized art gallery, became CEO of NFT Group integrating digital art with blockchain, and founded the non-profit CANVAS Art Charities, focused on revitalizing urban spaces through art.
During her Senate confirmation hearing in April, McGraw outlined four priorities for her term: economic and cultural diplomacy, security cooperation, promoting American excellence, and protecting US citizens abroad. Her appointment continues the close partnership between Croatia and the United States, with expectations to strengthen collaboration in culture, innovation, and defense under her leadership.
