WASSERMAN WELCOMES FOUR

Wasserman Music has bolstered its ranks with four new executive hires in its New York, Los Angeles and London offices, welcoming (clockwise from top left) Brad Goodman as SVP, Sam Bartlett as VP of Casinos/Performing Arts Centers, Taryn Haight as VP of Strategy/Electronic Music and Guy Mason as legal counsel.

L.A.-based Goodman arrives following a long tenure at WME, where he worked with such clients as Melissa Etheridge, "Weird Al" Yankovic and Ziggy Marley. New York-based Bartlett previously worked at CAA and ICM and will now rep the Wasserman roster for casino and performing arts venues in the Southeast, Midwest and Canada.

Haight’s L.A.-based role will encompass brand-building and non-touring opportunities for Wasserman’s electronic-music acts. She’s an electronic-sector veteran, thanks to prior roles at Ninja Tune, Warner Records and Ultra Records, and most recently was head of strategy for HIFI Labs. Mason will support Wasserman’s European business-affairs team from London following a stint as a commercial and intellectual property solicitor with VCCP Group LLP.

"The addition of Brad, Sam, Taryn and Guy helps us continue to strengthen our organization and solidify our place as the premier global music representation agency,” commented Wasserman Music EVP /Managing Executive Lee Anderson during a break from dodging HITS’ calls. "I look forward to making them recreate their photo array by standing in formation here in the office."
