Eva Ries is a German Music Manager, Author and Psychological Counsellor who became particularly well known for her long-standing collaboration with the legendary hip hop collective Wu-Tang Clan.
As marketing manager, she played a key role in shaping the rise of the legendary hip hop collective – from underground phenomenon to global cult brand.
Eva Ries began her career at major labels such as Geffen, RCA and Sony. As a German woman and career changer, she asserted herself in a tough, male-dominated industry – and in the process developed resilient leadership and communication skills.
Her life story is an example of an unusual, courageous path between the international music business, intercultural management and social engagement.
In her keynotes, Eva Ries combines entertaining insights into the world of hip-hop with brutally honest business experiences. She speaks at companies, leadership formats and events about team dynamics, power structures, cultural change and the power of authentic brands in a radical industry.
‘Only by standing your ground, not giving in, but acting with the same means as them, can you gain the necessary respect.’ – Eva Ries
How do you motivate people, especially artists? This lecture is about self-efficacy, creative visions and perseverance. Eva Ries talks about courageous decisions, failure and perseverance – and why the path away from the norm is often the more honest one.
