Mabe Presides Over UMGN:
Universal Music Group/Nashville SVP/Marketing Cindy Mabe has been named President of the group, reporting to Chairman/CEO Mike Dungan. “Throughout her career, Cindy Mabe has consistently shown that she is the most brilliant marketing person this business has ever seen," Dungan says. “But she is also a well-rounded executive, and a terrific leader of people. As our business continues to change at an alarming rate, we need her focus, dedication, and expertise now, and in the future, more than ever.”
"Mike Dungan has been a mentor for me and such an important person in my life," Mabe says. "He is one of the most charismatic, smart and intuitive music executives to ever run a music company and he’s built Arista, Capitol and now Universal to embody his innovative, team driven spirit. We have accomplished so much together these past seven years and I’m looking forward to what we can accomplish together in the future. I am so proud and honored to continue to work alongside him and the incredible Universal team of talent and artists he has built." Mabe joined Capitol/Nashville in 2007, moving to UMG/Nashville with the 2012 merger of Universal and Capitol. Congratulate her here.
