“Since joining Atlantic 12 years ago, Sas has played a central role in the marketing and development of artists across our roster,” said label chairman/COO Julie Greenwald and chairman/CEO Craig Kallman. “With music becoming increasingly global, it’s essential that we have an executive who is exclusively devoted to giving bespoke service to all the incredible artists joining us from around the world. David’s deep and diverse experience makes him the perfect choice for this important new post.”
Before joining Atlantic, Saslow was the head of video at Interscope Records, where he started in 1995. He began his music business career in 1992 in the video department of Elektra Entertainment.
