ADA Finalizes Leadership Team
Both Juneman and Slobodien will be based on the West Coast and report to ADA President, Cat Kreidich, who said, “It was important that we brought in people who share in our vision for the future, with a tech-forward approach and an unwavering commitment to the indie community. I’m pleased to say that Sam and Andrea are all that and more. Together with our new leadership team, we’re focused on innovating and supporting creators so that our artists and labels can focus on what they do best and run their businesses.”
“Cat has assembled an amazing and proven group dedicated to helping artists and labels achieve their biggest dreams, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of it,” said Juneman. “Working across the organization, we’ll deepen our services and expand our capabilities, informed by a data-driven approach.” Slobodien commented, “Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to develop the right tools and technology as a foundation for a company to flourish. The needs of the indie community are unique and wide-ranging, and I’m excited to help develop solutions customized for their business. I genuinely can’t wait to dig in and get to work to help our artists and labels thrive.”
