Jonathan Eby
Concord has promoted Jonathan Eby to Executive Vice President of Information Systems and Technology. In his new role, Eby will oversee the company’s global technology operations including infrastructure, development and strategy across all business areas.
Since joining Concord in 2017, Eby has constructed and led an international team that has supported the company’s rapid growth. By organizing the enterprise technology personnel into divisionally focused teams, Eby has enabled each division to provide services to artists, songwriters, composers, playwrights and more around the world. Eby and his team have led efforts in ERP consolidations, EPM implementation projects and the development of novel sync licensing and song delivery systems.
“As we continue to grow and expand worldwide, it is critically important that we have the right systems in place to support that growth,” explains Vic Zaraya, Concord’s Chief Operating Officer. “Jonathan has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to identify and understand our business needs and effectively develop and deploy technology in support of those needs. This ability, combined with his extensive experience in the music industry, makes him distinctively qualified for this role.”
“I am thrilled to embrace this new challenge,” says Eby. “Taking a business-first approach to IT projects ensures rich collaboration between our business and technology teams. The better our technology teams understand the unique and detailed business challenges we face every day, the better positioned we are to deliver solutions that are impactful and meaningful to our operations and, ultimately, to our clients and catalogs.”
Prior to Concord, Eby spent 15 years as COO of the classical music distributor and label Naxos. There, he managed the technology and distribution operations as well as served on the board of directors. At Naxos, he played a key role in developing the world’s first digital distribution platform focused on studied music and expanding the physical distribution business.
Eby will continue to be based at Concord’s Nashville headquarters.
