UMGN's Alexa, Keffer Promoted
Alexa, Play "The Champion": Universal Music Group Nashville VP/Finance & Operations Stephanie Alexa and Dir./Strategic Marketing Gary Keffer have been elevated to SVP and VP, respectively. Alexa's promotion comes after five years with the label group and a previous stop at ATO Records. “During her time with UMG Nashville, Stephanie has transformed the finance department to become an even more instrumental part of the company,” says EVP/COO Mike Harris. Keffer joined in 2016 from Remington Arms Company (CAT 6/22/16). "Gary is also continually looking to create unique events that support the entire roster like our most recent Music Is Universal experience during CMA Fest," says EVP/Marketing Lori Christian.
