Amazon Musics Ryan Redington Promoted to General Manager

Posted by Martina Birk on Monday, October 7, 2024

Steve Boom and Amazon Music have announced the promotion of Ryan Redington to lead Amazon Music as its new general manager. Redington, formerly vice president of music industry operations, will report to Boom, VP of audio, Twitch and Games for Amazon.

Redington first joined Amazon 15 years ago and has been on the Amazon Music team for the past decade. In fact, he was part of the team that launched the platform’s streaming service division in 2014 and he’s been a part of Amazon Music’s senior leadership team for the past six years overseeing the music industry organization.

His experience working alongside the music industry team has shaped Redington into a highly-qualified candidate as general manager for his wide-ranging knowledge of label and artist relations, artist and genre marketing, livestreams and editorial content, playlisting and programming, physical merchandise and music, and artist analytics.
