THE ORCHARD'S STUDLEY, JOHNSON IN BLOOM

January 6, 2023

The Orchard has kicked off 2023 by upping two key execs: Mary Ashley Johnson and Katie Studley.

The Orchard has kicked off 2023 by upping two execs; Mary Ashley Johnson has been promoted to EVP, Sales and Artist & Label Management, U.S. and Canada, while Katie Studley has been named VP, Nashville. Both will report to The Orchard's COO, Colleen Theis.

Studley, who spent 10 years at Jack White's Third Man Records as its VP, operations and marketing director, will oversee the company's day-to-day operations in Music City. Johnson, who's been The Orchard's VP, North American Sales and Artist & Label Management since 2019, will continue marshaling the teams responsible for developing and maintaining client relationships. In the photos here, Johnson appears in black and Studley in green. They're hoping this will be sufficient camouflage to keep us away.

The Orchard recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with the #1 album of 2022, Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti, as well as big sets by Jack White, Nas, $uicideboy$ and more.
