Kautz Promoted to Chief Operating Officer at BMLG

February 1, 2013/in Featured /by Jessica Nicholson

andrew kautzBig Machine Label Group’s Andrew Kautz has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer. In this newly-created position, Kautz will continue to oversee all operations of the label, including leading the company’s financial, legal, administrative and business development processes.
“It is an amazing adventure every day with our team that never sleeps,” says Kautz. “Scott, seeing everyone pull together to build this rocket ship and having your trust from the start to help set its course has been a dream come true. The day you told me your vision I knew this was something I had to be a part of; getting to see it become a reality has been awe inspiring. Thank you for the opportunity and especially this recognition; it’s truly an honor.”
“Andrew has literally been with me before we even settled on the name Big Machine. He bought into the vision from our very first sit-down meeting at the Sunset Grill and has never veered from that vision, he has only added to it. He has been my ‘get-it-done guy’ from the first moment. This promotion is richly deserved,” said CEO/President Scott Borchetta.
Prior to joining Big Machine at its inception in 2005, Kautz was COO of The Emerald Entertainment Group the Southeast’s largest recording facility (Emerald Sound Studios, Masterfonics, Emerald Broadcast Division, Digital Audio Post) where he started as a college intern and escalated through the ranks from 1989 to 2005.
Kautz earned a Music Business degree from Belmont University. He is also an advisory member of the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM).
Kautz will continue reporting directly to Borchetta and can be reached via [email protected].
