ALXCO, the artist management company founded by Wassim “Sal” Slaiby and home to The Weeknd, Metro Boomin, and more, announced on Friday (Dec. 27) that it has named a new CEO and co-presidents.
Lindsay Unwin, a longtime company employee, will become CEO, and Manny Dion and Ryan Ramsey will become co-presidents. In a statement, former CEO Slaiby revealed that he will now focus on “high-level projects and new business growth.”
Under Lindsay’s leadership, SALXCO has tripled its client roster and grown its internal team by 10x. She has also been a strong advocate for women in the music industry, setting out to structure the company with a strong sense of entrepreneurial spirit and a mission to empower and elevate women. This has resulted in most of the management team at SALXCO being female, making it a leading example in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
“Taking the helm as CEO of SALXCO is a testament to what’s possible when you immerse yourself in this industry from day one,” said Unwin in a statement on her ascension. “Our company thrives because we don’t just follow culture — we help shape it through our incredible clients and their visions.”
Slaiby added that Unwin “is perfectly poised to lead our daily operations.”
In his statement, Dion wrote, “With a deep respect for the company’s legacy and a clear vision for the future, I’m excited to build on what has been created and lead our team and artists toward new heights in the music industry.” Ramsey added that he’s “excited to be taking this next step with SALXCO and help guide the company into the future of this ever-evolving industry.”
Additional SALXCO clients include Brandy, Swedish House Mafia, French Montana, Ty Dolla $ign, Nav, Shenseea, Austin Millz and Elyanna. The company was founded in 2011 by Slaiby, longtime manager of The Weeknd.
