Talent's Clout: Sony/Nashville SVP/A&R Taylor Lindsey has been named head of the department, succeeding EVP/A&R Jim Catino who is leaving at the end of June (CAT 3/16). She will continue to sign and develop talent, reporting to Chairman/CEO Randy Goodman. “It is not often that we can so quickly and naturally look to an internal candidate to succeed a notable executive but there was never any doubt that Taylor Lindsey should fill this role," says Goodman. Adds Lindsey, “None of this would be possible without the mentorship and guidance I’ve received from Jim Catino over the course of my career. We have an amazing A&R team and a unique approach to artist development that offers our gifted artist roster unmatched commitment for the next evolution in their careers.” Lindsey earned her current title in 2019 (CAT 9/16/19); she has been with the company since 2013.
