Russ Crupnick, a Vice President and senior industry analyst with The NPD Group, has been appointed to the position of "executive in residence" at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development at the New York University in New York City.

“We’re excited that Russ was selected for this extremely prestigious honor,” said Karyn Schoenbart, president and COO of The NPD Group. “His music industry expertise and in-depth knowledge of consumer trends will be of immense professional benefit to students in NYU’s music business graduate program.”

Crupnick will work directly with Dr. Catherine Moore, who heads up NYU’s music business graduate program, to develop curriculum and lead seminars in business development and marketing strategies. He will also work with students to help them develop theses, and to guide them in their career development.

“It’s an honor not only to teach at the country’s premier music-business programs, but also to have the opportunity to work directly with the next generation of music-business leaders,” Crupnick said.
