“We’re so proud to have Allison step into her new role with us,” said Heather Luke, GM of Big Machine/John Varvatos Records. “She has an excellent track record in developing and breaking new artists. Her passion, hard work, and leadership have been instrumental in building our rock roster here at BMJV.” BMLG Chairman & CEO Scott Borchetta commented, “The world of rock music requires a very specialized executive that must know how to maneuver through its unique landscape to achieve success. What Allison Smith and Heather Luke do every day is extraordinary as they know the path that very few others do. It is with great pride that we announce and acknowledge this much deserved recognition of a job being extremely well done.”
