The results are in: having women in leadership positions is driving the music business in meaningful ways. Each of the panelists have launched large scale, comprehensive campaigns to put women at the forefront of the industry; from booking an all-female Roots N Blues lineup, to We Are Moving the Needle’s scholarship and support programs to increase the number of women entering producer or engineering roles, to Ingrooves’ all-women Latin team driving massive growth in the company’s presence in the genre over the last two years. These executives have crucial and tactical takeaways from the belly of the beast, to help us understand what is working for women and where we can improve.
