Leadership Team
Troy Sadler
Chief Executive Officer
Starting out as a professional tennis player, Troy later shifted gears to coach eminent artists like Eric Fischl and Ralph Gibson in New York’s East Hamptons where his passion for art and the art industry began.
After years on Wall Street and at the helm of an elite wine investment house in Hong Kong, Troy’s enduring passion for art lead him back into the industry with his independent art consultancy. His decade of experience in the Asian market enabled him to cultivate an expansive network within the arts industry, leading him to Art Works in Singapore.
Troy’s varied background, commitment to art, and industry know-how have been instrumental in the company’s ongoing expansion and prominence in the fine art market.
Chris Hallewell

Chris is a highly-experienced and knowledgeable marketer with over two decades of global marketing operations expertise. His impressive career includes various strategic roles at the world-renowned ADM Group, culminating in his position as Director of Operations for the Asia Pacific region.

Chris then brought his entrepreneurial spirit to Singapore, where he founded HOT Solutions, an outsourced digital marketing and business solutions agency. His talents led to an exciting partnership with Art Works Advisory where his passion for the art industry and his aptitude for growth strategies led him to join Art Works as Chief Operations Officer in January 2022. In this new appointment, Chris holds the reins to develop and deploy Art Works’ new products and services as well as drive their ongoing digital transformation strategy.
