Australia’s independent music trade body, AIR, has appointed Dan Nevin as its new CEO.

Nevin joins the Melbourne-based Australian Independent Record Labels Association in November and is the first CEO since Stuart Watters left in 2009.

Nevin was most recently digital music manager at JB Hi-Fi, responsible for the retail chain’s “Now” streaming music service that launched in 2011.

He also previously worked with Shock Entertainment and REDgroup, having started his career with indie retailer Radical Records.
