Founding Partner at Listen

Advertising / Marketing / PR

Got my start working in record labels just as the internet was about to decimate their existing business model. Some might say it was the worst time, I disagree. It taught me valuable lessons about the nature of disruption, and forced me to think about the music industry holistically from an early stage. It also taught me how to hustle. Since then I've worked in just about every area of the music business, including record labels, live music, artist management, publishing and brand partnerships. Then moved into the world of brand marketing, managing global brands for companies like Virgin. Founded Listen to focus on the ever changing nature of creativity versus commerce.
