Wasserman, a music and entertainment business, has brought on board Steve Murray, an experienced private equity professional, to take up the role of Executive Vice President for Mergers and Acquisitions and Strategic Planning.
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined the esteemed ranks of Hollywood’s talent, entertainment, sports, and advisory powerhouse, Wasserman, previously working as a principal at Providence Equity Partners.
