Business Women: Universal Music Group Appoints Ethiopia Habtemariam to head Motown
Ethiopia Habtemariam’s dizzying climb up the ladder of success began when she was an intern at LaFace Records back in the early 90s. She stood out even as an intern because she was one of the kindest, sweetest people you could ever meet in the music industry. One of Ethiopia’s strong points is her ability to connect with people from all walks of life and to make a difference in their lives.
So it is no surprise to hear that Universal Music Group has named Ethiopia Habtemariam as the new head of Motown label! In addition to taking over Sylvia Rhone’s former job, Ethiopia is also Sr. Vice President of Creative for Universal Music Publishing, where she was instrumental in signing such artists as Justin Beiber, Ciara, Polow Da Don, Chris Brown and Ludacris to publishing deals!
And in her spare time, Ethiopia also manages singer/songwriter Keri Hilson!
Ethiopia has been with Universal Music Group since 2003. Last year, she was promoted to Senior Vice President and Head of Urban Music, according to The Wrap.
Ethiopia is a bright, shining example of what you can achieve when you work hard and you are kind to others.
Here’s what a friend had to say about Ethiopia:
“She’s so incredible at her job that it was time for them to give her that position! She’s just incredible!”
