Ex-Capitol Chief Michelle Jubelirer Calls for More Top Female Execs, Laments Layoffs at Billboard Women in Music Event


Former Capitol Music Group CEO Michelle Jubelirer called for more female music execs and lamented recent layoffs at Billboard's Women in Music event.

Billboard’s annual Women in Music event is one of the industry’s classiest galas, and this year’s was no exception: honorees and presenters included Karol G, Kylie Minogue, Ice Spice, Pinkpantheress, Katy Perry, Maren Morris, and many others, and Charli XCX debuted a song from her forthcoming “Brat” dedicated to her late friend and collaborator Sophie. Prior to her acceptance speech, Jubelirer spoke on the event’s red carpet about the need for more women in C-level roles in the music industry — she herself was one of just three C-suite execs at major labels. And media companies are seeing their business models change as well, as years of decline have continued following the internet’s free content replacing print magazines and newspapers.
