The promotion makes her the highest-ranking woman at any Nashville-based agency.
WME has named partner Becky Gardenhire co-head of the agency’s Nashville office. She will work alongside current co-heads Scott Clayton, Joey Lee and Jay Williams to oversee the agency’s day-to-day operations in Nashville.
Gardenhire began working at William Morris Agency in 2002 at the Beverly Hills office and moved to Nashville a year later to work in the new office. She was"I don’t think we would have gotten to where we are today without Becky stepping up a few years ago to take on some of the leadership roles in the office," Williams tells. "She was really instrumental in developing our roster and help organize how artists move through the territorial system.
"They are such an amazing team," Gardenhire says of her fellow co-heads. "All of them bring so much value and assets to what they do, what they bring to the office, what they bring to our business. I have been learning from them every day and now to be part of their leadership group is a thrill and I am excited to be part of that."
At WME, Gardenhire has also spearheaded social impact initiatives and the Nashville music community, such as Talk the Talk, a long-running monthly lecture series that connects women across the Nashville music business.
