Lynn Hazan, former executive vice president and general manager of RED Distribution and the Independent Online Distribution Alliance, is taking over as general manager and Chief Financial Officer at Epic Records. The move puts Hazan in charge of all financial operations, business and legal affairs, and contract administration for the label, reporting to newly-named Chief Operating Officer Mark Shimmel.

The move was announced today by Epic Records Chairman and CEO L.A. Reid, who brought Shimmel into the fold in a hiring announced Jan. 18. This follows on the heels of other recent shakeups in the executive ranks at Epic, with Christopher “Tricky” Stewart named the head of A&R back in November.
