She rose to the position of CEO in September 2018, and has since taken the company beyond website-building to make it the definitive direct-to-fan platform for musicians. After the successful sale of Bandzoogle, Stacey currently holds the role of General Manager of industry unicorn Distrokid, which is responsible for more than 60% of music pushed to streaming services globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Based out of Ottawa and n<\/span>ow in its 20th year of operation, Bandzoogle has powered websites for over 110,000 artists in 213 countries\/territories, and its members recently crossed $100M in commission-free sales of music, merch, and tickets. A mother of three, Stacey lives in Ottawa with her family, and holds a BA in Economics from Carleton University. She\u2019s also an avid guitar player, beekeeper, and karaoke singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event is open to all students at Carleton. Feel free to bring your lunch, something to snack on, your laptop or a notebook, and any questions you want to ask. We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[26],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-6367","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-events"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2024-03-22T12:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2024-03-22T13:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"NI","cu_event_meeting_room":"2020","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/6367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/6367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6407,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/6367\/revisions\/6407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=6367"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/innovationhub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=6367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
