Sony's Goodman Retiring: "The Sony Music Nashville and Provident Entertainment teams are some of the finest executives I’ve had the privilege of working with over my many years in this business," says outgoing Chairman/CEO Randy Goodman, who will retire at the end of 2024 after 35 years in the music industry. Goodman re-joined SMN in 2015 in his current role (CAT 7/8/15) after previously spending 16 years at RCA, where he rose to EVP/GM before leaving to open Lyric Street Records in 1997. No word on plans for the position.
