About Chris Patyk

As Director of Music Programming at Pandora, I oversee the curation of multiple music channels, including top 100 current-based stations, with a team of music programmers. I have been instrumental in initiating rebrands of top performing genre stations and increasing exposure through Times Square billboard marketing campaigns, social media, and on-platform takeovers from A-List artists such as The Beatles, Def Leppard, Metallica, The National, and Jelly Roll.I have a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism/Media Arts from the University of Arizona, which has equipped me with the skills to generate weekly reports to the C-Suite summarizing music trends on the platform across multiple musical genres. I am passionate about creating engaging and relevant music content for Pandora\'s 70 million active users and collaborating with creative, PR, marketing, digital, and artists relations departments.
