Bob Romeo
Bob Romeo, the CEO of the Academy of Country Music, is stepping down after 12 years on the job, the organization announced Friday.

In a statement announcing his departure, Romeo said his work with the academy "has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career in the music business.”

“We’ve accomplished more than I could have ever dreamed," he said. "The organization is recognized as a leader in the business and that was my main goal when I joined the company. There is so much pride in how far we have moved the puck."

According to The Tennessean, the statement did not say why Romeo decided to resign, or what he would be doing next, although Romeo said he was "looking forward to planning my next endeavor.” Tiffany Moon, ACM executive vice president and managing director, will serve as interim CEO.

“We are thankful for Bob’s leadership and dedication to the organization, and wish him the best in the next phase of his career,” ACM board chair Paul Barnabee said in the statement.

Romeo is a well-regarded leader who has spent decades in the music industry.
