As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a month of connection, learning, and celebration across UMG. A huge thanks🙏to our Universal Music Women’s Network (UMWN) ERG for leading meaningful conversations throughout March. From a panel on sustainability in the music industry to a special performance and conversation with Bishop Briggs, a singer-songwriter known for her powerful vocals and hit song “River,” we’re grateful to everyone who made these moments possible. We’re closing out this year’s spotlight series with Sydney Whittenburg, with our Verve Label Group. 🩶 Sydney shares: “I am inspired by Erin Ryan who is my boss and the VP of Media for Verve Label Group. Her leadership inspires me to consistently aim higher, and as a young woman in the industry, I could not ask for a better person to learn from every single day and work alongside.” #WomensHistoryMonth
