Mr. Gold joined LiveXLive in March of 2017 as Strategic Financial Advisor to the Chairman. A music and entertainment executive for the past 37 years, Mr. Gold served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Warner Music Group for nearly a decade. In addition to his responsibilities as Warner Music's CFO, he extended his focus to strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures.

"Jerry brings tremendous experience, an unparalleled network and financial expertise to LiveXLive, and we are thrilled that he has joined full-time," said Rob Ellin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
