Career

Saturn began her career with Epic Records in 1993 as an assistant in the label's promotions department.

Upon her departure, a party was organized by Epic Records' chairman and CEO L.A. Reid to celebrate her work over the 20 years that she was employed at Epic.[8] The party was held in the penthouse of the Dream Hotel in New York[8] and attended by record executives that included Charlie Walk, Tom Poleman, and Joel Klaiman.[7]

Saturn left Epic Records in 2013 to join Harvest Records, a subsidiary of Capitol Records Music Group. She joined the label as its general manager, a position she shares with business executive Piero Giramonti. Saturn previously worked for Capitol Music Group's CEO Steve Barnett for 9 years during her time at Epic.[9]

In September 2018, Saturn was promoted to President of Caroline, Capitol Music Group's independent distribution and label arms service. Saturn will lead a 50-person U.S. team and work in tandem with Caroline's 11 international offices. She will oversee all aspects of Caroline business, including artist and label signings, partnerships and strategic alliances.[10] In February 2021, Saturn became President of Virgin Music, shortly after Universal fully acquired Caroline from Capitol Music Group and re-branded its label and artist services.[11]
