I am very proud of the exceptional work being done by our new core executive team, which has been working together to launch a successful series of innovative, focused artist development campaigns. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the entire Atlantic staff, which is certainly the most enthusiastic and aggressive group of people I have had the privilege of working with in my career."
