Recording Academy Names New Pres./CEO
Before joining (RED) in 2011, Dugan served as President of Disney Publishing Worldwide. Her extensive resume also includes eight years as EVP at EMI/Capitol Records. She launched her career as a Wall Street mergers and acquisition attorney.
According to the Billboard account, Dugan was one of three finalists voted on by the board and received a majority of the votes. The board now must approve her compensation package before the appointment becomes official. Dugan’s appointment will mark a historic moment for the Recording Academy — this will be the first time that a woman has filled the President/CEO post.
