Lou Rizzo: Free Agent
• On the heels of the news of Andrea Ganis‘ departure from Atlantic Records comes word that 26-year Atlantic veteran Lou Rizzo has also exited as his position as Director of Radio Analytics and Northeast Regional Promotion Manager is eliminated.
Rizzo remarked, “While I’ve been managing regional promotion for all formats across the northeast for decades, I’ve more recently been pioneering data and analytics to help our department tell more credible, impactful, and meaningful stories about our artists and priorities. I’ve also been guest-speaking and presenting on my career experience and the industry at area universities. Prior to Atlantic I enjoyed 10 years in Connecticut radio primarily at heritage rocker WRKI (I95)/Danbury as well as doing independent voice work and commercial production, which I still do a bit of today.”
In closing, Rizzo said, “I’m tremendously grateful for my time here. I’m not sure what’s next, but with both traditional and progressive skill sets I’m excited for what’s to come. Meantime I’ll enjoy an ‘actual summer’ with my family watching baseball in our garden in Boston and zipping around Candlewood Lake in our boat.”
That said, Rizzo can be easily contacted at 617-510-9255 or LRizzoMusic@gmail.com and access his LinkedIn profile here.
