Music executive Scooter Braun has officially stepped down as the CEO of HYBE America, marking a significant shift in leadership at one of the most influential entertainment companies in the world.
Braun, known for managing global stars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Demi Lovato, won’t be cutting ties entirely. Instead, he will take on a strategic role behind the scenes as a board director and senior advisor to HYBE’s global CEO and chairman.
In his statement, Braun reflected on his tenure, saying:
“Being a part of HYBE and witnessing its remarkable growth has been one of the most inspiring chapters of my professional journey.”
Media executive Isaac Lee is set to assume the CEO role at HYBE America, ushering in a new era of leadership.
While Braun hasn’t revealed his exact next move, sources say he’s stepping back to focus on new ventures, sparking speculation about his future projects in tech, media, or perhaps a return to independent artist management.
His departure from the top job comes amid a series of high-profile management shake-ups in the music industry and signals a potential shift in the direction of Braun’s career as he explores the next phase beyond label leadership.
