Anna Kolander has been promoted to Partner at Activist Artists Management.

Kolander has spent 13 years at the company, and is known for her artist-first approach, strategic thinking, and integrity. She previously served as Senior Manager/Head of A&R, and currently serves as day-to-day manager for The Lumineers, where she supports all aspects of the band’s global touring and recording. She will continue to operate out of Nashville while taking on an expanded leadership role across the broader Activist business as part of her promotion.

“Anna is a thoughtful and strategic leader,” says Activist founding Partner Bernie Cahill. “She brings a rare combination of creative instinct, operational rigor, and deep care for the people she works with. We’re proud to welcome her into the Activist partnership.”

“To step into this role after beginning my career alongside the leadership of Activist is incredibly meaningful. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have learned from such an incredible team and proud of all we’ve accomplished together. I look forward to continuing to support our artists and partners in impactful and innovative ways in the years ahead,” adds Kolander.

The Activist music roster is comprised of The Lumineers, Orville Peck, The Pretty Reckless, Leif Vollebekk, Young the Giant, the Grateful Dead, Dead & Company, and Dwight Yoakam, among others.
