Andrew Kautz, previously President of Strategy & Operations at HYBE Label Service, has launched a boutique consulting firm, Kautz & Associates.
The practice will advise a “small number of hand-selected private clients as they navigate not only the music industry but the ever-changing opportunities and challenges that technology and progress present,” Kautz said. “This isn’t a firm built for volume, it’s built for depth.”
Kautz most recently oversaw the creation of unified distribution, marketing, and operational infrastructure for HYBE Label Service, the South Korean entertainment company’s first global division, spanning North America, Latin America, Japan, Korea, and India.
Earlier in his career, Kautz was the first hire made by Scott Borchetta at Big Machine in 2005. He held several leadership roles there, including General Manager, COO, and President of Label Operations, and worked with artists such as Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, and Rascal Flatts.
