His unique blend of financial acumen and passion for music has been a driving force behind his success. And his leadership style has been instrumental in creating some of the most iconic brands in the entertainment industry.

I am excited to have Andy Mooney, a renowned brand builder who's worked with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. He is perhaps best known for his role as the CEO of Disney Consumer Products, where he led the division to record profits through innovative branding and marketing strategies. Prior to that, he worked for Nike for over 20 years and played a key role in establishing the company's dominance in the athletic apparel market.

In this interview, Andy discussed his experience as the CEO of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, one of the world's largest guitar manufacturers. Mooney also shared how he was able to turn things around for Fender by focusing on the company's heritage and developing new products that catered to the changing needs of musicians. He talked about the importance of having a strong brand and staying true to its identity while also adapting to the times and embracing new technologies.

Mooney also shared his thoughts on the future of the music industry and the role of technology in shaping it. He believes that music will continue to be an essential part of people's lives and that technology will only enhance the way we experience and consume music.
