This promotion is richly deserved, and I couldn’t be happier for her — or more confident in the impact she’ll continue to make.”
Ian Harrison, CEO of A2IM, noted, “I am extremely pleased to have the opportunity to work alongside Lisa as I begin my tenure as CEO of A2IM. Her incredible knowledge accrued over the past 8 years and her passion for the independent music industry is unparalleled, and I know together we can continue to expand upon the important work that lies ahead for A2IM and our members.”
