Raffaella Braun has been appointed co-president of Nashville-based country label Triple Tigers Records, whose roster includes Russell Dickerson, Scotty McCreery, Shane Profitt and Ian Munsick. Previously the label's vice-president of radio promotion, she takes over from Kevin Herring, who stepped down on Monday 6 July and will stay on as an adviser for an unspecified period. The move signals continuity in leadership at one of country music's more successful independent labels.

Braun will lead the full roster alongside existing co-president Annie Ortmeier while retaining a focus on radio, reporting to founder and managing partner George Couri. She joined the label after working as a booking agent at CAA and as an event producer. Couri praised her problem-solving and leadership, while Braun paid tribute to Herring's legacy. Founded in 2016, Triple Tigers is now owned by Sony's The Orchard and Triple 8 Management, and has notched more than 10 No. 1s on Billboard's Country Airplay chart.
