LONDON (CelebrityAccess) — Live Nation announced the hire of music industry veteran Milly Olykan as Senior Vice President of Artist Development and Global Touring.

In her new post at Live Nation, Olykan will join the company’s Concerts division in January, and will work to expand the company’s Country and Americana business in the U.S. and abroad. She will report to Omar Al-Joulani, President of Touring.

Olykan joins Live Nation from the Country Music Association (CMA), where she has served as Vice President of International Relations and Development since 2018.

While at the CMA, Olykan focused on the organization’s international strategy, helping to expand the reach of American country music around the world.

Before she joined the CMA, Olykan held a leadership role in AEG Presents UK operations, serving as Vice President of Live Music and Major Arena Events. She was one of the founding promoters of Country to Country (C2C) and earned the CMA Jo Walker Meador International Award for her role in raising country music’s profile in the UK.

“I’ve been so fortunate to work under Sarah Trahern’s incredible leadership at CMA, an organization whose mission is to grow country music around the world,” said Olykan. “It’s been a privilege to have built so many meaningful relationships worldwide, and I’m excited to continue advancing that mission from my new role at Live Nation.”

“Country and Americana artists are touring more of the world than ever before as the global demand for their music is on the rise, and Milly’s extensive experience and industry connections make her a great asset to support our efforts in continuing to expand touring of those genres worldwide”, said Omar Al-Joulani, President of Touring, Live Nation. “We’re excited for the opportunities her leadership will create for artists and their tours around the world.”
