There is nobody better equipped to lead our efforts than Kristen. She is one of the most respected executives in this industry, and her passion and knowledge will bring a fresh perspective to all of WMN’s commercial partnerships, in addition to her radio expertise,” says Ben Kline, Co-Chair & Co-President, Warner Music Nashville.
“I want to thank Ben and Cris [Lacy] for trusting me with this great opportunity,” says Williams. “Aligning the radio and commercial partnerships departments, which utilize so much of the same data, will allow us to be both more efficient and more effective with all of our radio and streaming partners, and will also create a more strategic approach for our artists. Warner Music Nashville continues to have the foresight to anticipate change and take the initiative to meet it head-on.”
