Join us for an exclusive lecture and Q&A session with Richard Cusick, Chief Product Officer of Global E-Commerce at Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment. With a unique background spanning law, business, tech, and media, Richard offers a rare, comprehensive perspective on how the music industry works—and where it’s headed.
A Harvard graduate with a master’s from Cambridge and both a JD and MBA from Ohio State, Richard has built a career at the intersection of creativity and commerce. From leading music innovation at Yahoo! and Gracenote to helping scale global content platforms like Amazon and Apple, he’s worked across product, strategy, and technology. Now at UMG, he leads efforts to create cutting-edge fan experiences through e-commerce, Web3.0, and direct-to-fan platforms.
In this session, Richard will walk us through his unconventional path into the music industry and break down the wide range of careers available beyond performance and A&R—from product and tech, to data, law, business development, and more. He’ll also offer insights into how the industry is evolving and what students can do to prepare for meaningful, impactful careers in music—no matter their background.
We’ll conclude with a live Q&A where students can ask questions and get real-world advice on navigating the music business today.
Whether you’re an aspiring executive, creative, entrepreneur, or just curious about how the music industry really works—this is a session you won’t want to miss.
