The Operator

Execution, delivery and performance, gets the hard thing done.

Jim Jones is The Operator because nothing in his orbit is left unmonetized. A viral clip, a reality TV arc, even a beef with Nas becomes a calculated revenue mechanism, converted into streams by a philosophy he states openly. His executive tenure routing labels through Warner Music Group and his current content facility investment confirm the pattern.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY OPERATOR

Well, we appreciate you being here. Thank you. It's so interesting to hear from people who live through some of the most notorious events of our century. It's even more fascinating to hear what goes on beyond the headlines.
