Pandiscia says, "Mike and I have worked together for many years, and I’m thrilled to be continuing our association as we fulfill our mandate to take Caroline to new heights. Mike’s leadership of EMI’s Label Services unit since 2010, and his knowledge of the Independent sector of the music business makes him all the more valuable as we design and execute our plans for Caroline’s growth."

Capitol Music Group EVP Michelle Jubelirer adds, "Mike is a well-known and highly regarded executive whose expertise within the Independent artist and label worlds makes him an important force for Caroline. Mike will be integral to Caroline’s success in this period of the company’s expansion and revitalization, and I congratulate him on this well-deserved promotion." 

Harris said, "I am thrilled that Steve Barnett and Michelle Jubelirer are already bringing such great new energy and renewed focus to the company, and that they are looking to Caroline to play an important role in the future success of the Capitol Music Group. I’m excited to continue working with great independent artists, executives and label brands to help them achieve success, and being able to do so alongside my good friend Dominic Pandiscia is a dream come true."
