Movers & Shakers: AEG Presents, WME, Roundhouse

AEG Presents has announced a wave of senior vice president promotions within its Global Partnership division.

Andrew Bersch has been elevated to SVP, finance & administration, while Holli Branam, Bret Heiman and Alex McArthur have been promoted to SVPs of sales.

Additionally, Samantha Fernandez and Brianne Grimley have been named SVP of festival activations and SVP of Venue activations, respectively, and Eric Kohler is upped to SVP, global partnerships.

The promotions follow the recent announcement of Andrew Klein as president of the Global Partnerships division.

“I am thrilled to announce the promotions of this group of industry leading individuals,” says Klein, “They have each been instrumental in helping grow and innovate with our family of global partners and music assets. With this leadership foundation, we are poised for incredible things over the next 10 years and beyond.”

Also in the US, WME recently confirmed the promotions of Stephen Schulcz and Richard Vega to partners of its music division.

Roundhouse is also gearing up for the launch of its new Roundhouse Three Sixty festival

Los Angeles-based Schulcz is the agency’s head of domestic festivals and oversees a roster including Teddy Swims, Victoria Monét, Givēon, Weezer, Will Smith, Swae Lee, Macklemore and Sam Fender, among others.

Vega, who relocated to Miami in 2024, oversees a list of clients such as Alvaro Diaz, Becky G, Bizarrap, Café Tacvba, Humbe, Ivan Cornejo, Kevin Kaarl, LP, Natanael Cano, Nicki Nicole, Saiko and Tainy.

And in the UK, London’s Roundhouse has announced the appointment of three new trustees: Florencia Kassai, Natasha Mann and Kevin O’Hare.

Kassai is managing partner at mid-market private equity firm Inflexion, Mann is a creative consultant who previously served as director of diversity and inclusion at Universal Music UK and MD at Island Records, and O’Hare is director of The Royal Ballet.
