What Steve and his team have accomplished in such a short span of time is the talk of the industry and the artist community, and CMG's revitalization is still only in its early stages. I look forward to contributing to the company's growth and helping its impressive roster of new and established artistes' success in the years to come." As a senior member in the executive team, he will work along with CMG EVPs Michelle Jubelirer and Greg Thompson; and CFO Geoff Harris.
