ICLG GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS

Gary Kelly and Jason Kawejsza will lead business operations at the newly created Interscope Capitol Labels Group.

Kelly has been appointed chief revenue officer and general manager. He is charged with overseeing numerous company departments and building diverse revenue streams. Kawejsza has been named EVP, head of business & legal affairs.

“Gary and Jason have been making invaluable contributions to our company for nearly 15 years. They combine strong business acumen with an entrepreneurial mindset that will continue to be crucial to my leadership team and ICLG’s success,” said Chairman and CEO John Janick. “I know that everyone in the company joins me in congratulating Gary and Jason on these well-earned promotions.”

Kelly was general manager of Interscope Records, moving into that position last year after being global head of Streaming & Strategy. He joined Interscope in 2010 as head of sales.

Kawejsza was most recently EVP, head of business & legal affairs at Interscope Geffen A&M, a position he attained in 2016. He joined Universal Music Group’s corporate legal department in 2003.

Both men are thrilled and excited.

Kelly said, ”The creation of ICLG is a milestone moment for our company. I’m thrilled to be part of John’s leadership team, which will oversee our growth and evolution as we set the standard for what a modern-day music company should be. I look forward to working with everyone in the company, who will deliver on our mission of providing artists with a home to create great music and build their global brands to reach the widest possible audience.”

Kawejsza said, “I'm so excited to work with John and our entire leadership team at Interscope Capitol Labels Group as we move forward and redesign the company to most effectively support our amazing artists and label partners.”

We understand that the two execs will have a timeshare arrangement with the company abacus.
