It is with great pleasure we celebrate and honor this year’s Billboard Indie Power Players. Recognizing industry leaders throughout the independent sector, The Orchard is proud to be included as we work to empower and serve this innovative community.
For their fifth year running, The Orchard’s CEO Brad Navin as well as COO Colleen Theis have been named among the 2021 Indie Power Players. Joining them for the second year in a row is Alan Becker, SVP Product Development and Mary Ashley Johnson, SVP North America, Label Management and Sales. Making the Indie Power Players list for the first time, is Tim Pithouse, The Orchard’s SVP of Artist Services. All of those included have led the charge for The Orchard in the past year, working massive release campaigns that helped drive our artists and labels to the very top of the charts and industry as a whole.
We are also proud to work beside some of the finest industry executives in the business and wish a huge congratulations to all our partners below. Their music is why we love to do what we do, day in and day out.
