Ceci Kurzman has built a career most people have never heard about, yet her influence runs deep through the worlds of music, fashion, and business.
A Harvard graduate who began in the record industry, Ceci rose through the ranks at Arista Records and Sony Music’s Epic Records, guiding the careers of some of the world’s biggest artists. She later founded Nexus Management, which began as an artist management company and evolved into a global investment platform bridging culture, capital, and technology across the consumer, media, and tech sectors.
Today, she serves on the boards of Warner Music Group, Lanvin Group, Man Group, and Revlon, quietly shaping how creativity and commerce intersect. But behind her success is a story of love, loss, and resilience. When her husband fell ill, Ceci stepped back from her career to care for him. And when he died, she began again.
In this moving conversation, Ceci and Bruna Papandrea explore the power of reinvention, the responsibility that comes with influence, and the quiet satisfaction of substance over spotlight. This is Ceci's invisible roadmap.
