I'm Mandy, a seasoned music industry professional with over a decade's experience. I started at Spotify in 2015 as a music editor in Berlin, contributing significantly to the creation of the GSA region's playlist network as we evolved from startup to industry leader. Specializing in Pop music, I was in charge of the region's top playlists, including New Music Friday and Hot Hits Deutschland. In 2019, I transitioned to the Global Hits team in Los Angeles, managing high-priority playlists like Today's Top Hits and Pop Rising. I supported the Global Editorial Strategy team on campaigns like Wrapped and EQUAL. As a high-performing music streaming executive now working as a freelance consultant, I'm all about building and facilitating strategies that showcase the best music around the world. From collaborating with cross-functional teams to supporting new release planning, I'm always ready to make high-stakes decisions and help artists get their music heard. I'm passionate about leading cultural change and making the music industry more equitable for all, and I am always committed to building relationships and supporting diverse voices in the industry.
