Warner Records Nashville has made a series of strategic promotions in its executive leadership and creative teams.

Patrick Sabatini has been named Executive Vice President, WRN Operations and Business & Legal Affairs; Kristen Williams has been promoted to Executive Vice President, Radio & Commercial Partnerships; and Victoria Mason was elevated to Executive Vice President, Marketing. All report to Cris Lacy, Chair & President of Warner Records Nashville.

Brooke Hardesty has been upped to Senior Vice President, Digital Marketing, and will be reporting to Mason. Rohan Kohli has been promoted to Senior Vice President, A&R, and Austin Jenkins joins the team as Senior Vice President, A&R from his previous position at MCA and Lucille Records. Both Kohli and Jenkins report to Lacy.

“It’s a privilege to make music with such strong leaders who embody and uphold our core values. We meet artists where they are. We share the belief that our artists are the source of Truth,” says Lacy. “Protecting, igniting, and evangelizing their influence across the global stage is the foundation of everything we do. An unwavering commitment to this ideal has propelled the iconic careers of Cody Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Dan + Shay, Cole Swindell, Gabby Barrett and Randy Travis, and has inspired the aggressive campaigns driving next-gen superstars like Gavin Adcock, Avery Anna, Chase Matthew, Hudson Westbrook, Bailey Zimmerman, and many more.”
