About Julie Greenwald
Julie Greenwald is a music executive. She began her music career in 1992 at Def Jam Records. About a decade later she was named President of Island Records.
She joined Atlantic Records as President in 2004 and was promoted to Chairman and COO in 2009. In October 2022 Warner Music Group named her Chairman and CEO of the newly created Atlantic Music Group. In that role she oversees Atlantic Records, including the Atlantic, Atco, Big Beat and Canvasback labels, and 300 Elektra Entertainment. She and Craig Kallman continue to lead Atlantic Records jointly.
Warner Music Group has credited her with Atlantic's marketing and digital strategies. She is an operating executive in the music industry, not a full-time investor.
Crunchbase lists Julie Greenwald with two personal investments. It names only one of them, the swsh seed round, as her latest. No fund, syndicate or angel group is publicly attached to her name. She has made no public statement about her angel strategy that we could find.
In June 2026 swsh closed a $4M seed round led by Game Changers Ventures. Billboard lists Greenwald among the participating angel investors, alongside Scooter Braun, Guy Oseary, Cory Levy, Hans Tung, Chris Detert, Shachar Scott and Austin Rief. Stellation Capital, SignalFire and MaC Venture Capital also took part.
swsh is a fan engagement platform for live experiences. It helps artists and brands capture fan-generated content from events and use it in marketing. The company said it would spend the round on team expansion, product and infrastructure, acquisition channels and enterprise partnerships, with a focus on music, sports and experiential brand marketing.
The only public data point is a seed-stage investment in an AI-enabled consumer and entertainment technology company, where her music industry experience is relevant. Her check size, preferred stages beyond this round, and geographic focus are not public.
