BBM Profile: Ron Gillyard

I accomplished many of the things that I wanted to accomplish during my career in the record business, but admittedly not everything. I held executive positions at Live Nation, J Records, Bad Boy and Motown, working with Stevie Wonder, Luther, Bebe & Cece, Alicia Keys, Sean Diddy Combs, Mary J Blige, Snoop, Enimem and so many others.  My last record label position was EVP Urban Music, Interscope.

After leaving Interscope, I transitioned into management. I had the opportunity to work with Simon Renshaw and Irving Azoff, two of the best managers in the history of the music business. I did some consulting of production companies and I also worked with some tech start-ups.  Today, I am the Chief Growth officer (CGO) of Quantasy, a full service digital marketing agency.

And also, because of what can be described as a full circle moment, I am now the producer of a Broadway-bound musical entitled “Born For This”, created by BeBe Winans and director Charles Randolph-Wright (Motown the Musical).  Quantasy  –  quantasy.com   Born For This –  bit.ly/BFTBoston
