Emily Gonneau, Manager of OK Go - Europe, talks Management 101: Have a Sense of Purpose



Emily Gonneau is part of this new wave of hungry, talented, and innovative Managers. She lives in Paris, teaching for Sorbonne, has a couple kids to raise, and still stays in the thick of the Music Biz running her own show at Unicum Music. Whether managing, consulting, or doing publishing, Emily has begun to make her mark on the European front. However, it wasn't always this way for Emily. She started out just like the rest of us, but she was eager and willing to do what it takes, whether that meant holding down two jobs or working crazy hours. After busting her tail, she got in at a record label but found it to be too impersonal when working with artists. Her leap from label to Management surely was the right call because it led to her representing OK Go in Europe! Listen to Emily reflect on what it truly is to be a Manager: Have a Sense of Purpose for your Artist!
