Radio promotion veteran
Joe Riccitelli, who departed his role as co-president of RCA Records earlier this month, has launched
Gold'n Retriever Entertainment, where he will work on new projects from RCA artists Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake, among others.
"I have been blessed that over the past 22 years I have been surrounded by some of the most talented artists and a passionate label family," Riccitelli told RAMP in a statement announcing the new venture. “I led promotional efforts on over 100 No. 1 songs, including 45 No. 1 songs at Top 40 alone, ranging from the incredibly successful from the gritty independent label that was Jive to the powerhouse company RCA has become over the past 11 years. I'm so thankful the opportunities that were afforded me when Barry Weiss hired me to join Jive Records in 1999. I'm grateful to continue working with RCA artists and beyond as I launch Gold'n Retriever Entertainment.”
