WINKLER RISES TO SVP/HEAD OF A&R AT ISLAND
Jackie Winkler has ascended to SVP/head of A&R at Island Records, where she's spent the past nine years working with such artists as Sabrina Carpenter, Demi Lovato, Keshi and Lauren Spencer Smith.
After a successful run at Warner Records, Winkler joined Island in 2015. She signed Carpenter in 2020 and was heavily involved in her new album, Short n’ Sweet, which topped the album charts of 15 countries in its first week of release.
In her new position, Winkler will report to Island Co-CEOs Imran Majid and Justin Eshak, who said in a joint statement, “Jackie is an exceptional leader and A&R executive. Her collaborative spirit, creative instincts and steadfast nature make her the ideal person to run our A&R department.”
“I am deeply grateful to Imran and Justin for their unwavering belief and trust as I step into this new role," Winkler said. "Their guidance has not only fueled my personal career growth but has been the cornerstone of our department's success.”
A former HITS Noisemaker, Winkler will likely now filter all our emails straight to junk.
