MICHELLE WRIGHT
Executive Director
Michelle Wright (née Fink), Greenville University class of 1990, is deeply connected to her alma mater. In fact, she is a 4th generation alum. Earning her Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration and Marketing, coupled with her experience as the Agape music festival coordinator, she set her trajectory for Nashville and a deeper dive into the Christian music industry.
Michelle landed in radio promotions at Reunion Records, home of recording artists including Michael W. Smith, Rich Mullins, and Third Day. After several years at the label, she was promoted to the VP of Marketing and Artist Development. Her next career step was joining the Blanton-Harrell Entertainment management team who represented Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, and Rachael Lampa among others. This role found her traveling the globe representing their roster at high profile events from the Grammy Awards to presidential inaugurations.
After marrying and starting a family, she returned to Provident (Reunion Records parent company). Only this time she managed their partnership with Twentieth Century Fox home entertainment as the conduit for faith and family friendly films. The biggest highlight was spearheading the Christian market retail campaign for The Bible miniseries, which was the highest-grossing, non-theatrical video through the Christian retail market.
Then her family relocated to California for non- profit work with the Cantinas Foundation and eventually landing in higher education as an administrator in the Cuesta College Performing Arts department on the central coast for the past 7 years.
She has been married to Eric Wright for 23 years and has three children, Quinn (21), Jenson (20) and Jocelyn (12).
