Scooter Braun Steps Down as HYBE America CEO

Scooter Braun has stepped down as CEO of HYBE America, transitioning to a senior advisory role and remaining on the company's board of directors. Isaac Lee, formerly chair of HYBE Latin America, will succeed him as CEO, now overseeing HYBE's operations across North and South America. Braun's five-year tenure included major acquisitions, the merger with Ithaca Holdings, and the launch of acts like Katseye. His departure coincides with the conclusion of his initial HYBE contract and follows controversies such as public feuds with Taylor Swift and his split from Justin Bieber. Braun has not announced his next venture but indicated it will reflect his industry vision and philanthropic interests. HYBE leadership continues to praise Braun's impact and looks forward to ongoing collaboration.
