VP of Product

Napster is one of the most iconic brands in music and the longest-running independent music streaming service. Over the years, the company has delivered more than $1BN to artists and given music fans access to more than 70 million tracks. Napster kicked off the digital era 20 years ago when it helped more than 75M fans have their first digital music experience. The company was taken private last year by a group of top investors and is now creating the next generation music platform that rewards fandom by connecting fans directly with their favorite artists. The platform will empower artists to own the relationship with their fans and helps them create digital assets and experiences for their fans to enjoy. We believe it is time to make music fun again!
