JJ Farrell Exits Managing Director Role at Jump.global

JJ Farrell has stepped down as Managing Director of jump.global, the global music‑industry community that focuses on personal and professional growth. His final day in the role is August 7, 2026, after which he will be reachable at jjfarrellmusic@gmail.com.

Farrell’s tenure at jump.global began in 2025 when the company promoted him to Managing Director. In that capacity he oversaw day‑to‑day operations, partnership development, client services, community growth and live events. Prior to the promotion, Farrell had been a key figure in the company’s marketing agency, securing hundreds of conference, event, academic and press placements for executives and multi‑figure enterprises.

The marketing arm of jump.global has worked with a range of music‑industry stakeholders, from record labels to publishing companies. Farrell’s role involved coordinating sponsorships, design, venue logistics and operations for the company’s event initiatives. He helped launch and scale Hits Home, the flagship music‑business conference held in Nashville. Hits Home Nashville took place April 19‑21, 2026 at Virgin Hotels Nashville and attracted industry leaders, academics and press.

In addition to Hits Home, Farrell managed Volumes, a free virtual summit for music‑business students. The 2026 edition drew more than 1,000 students from over ten countries and 200 universities worldwide. Volumes is positioned as a platform for emerging professionals to connect with industry insiders.

Farrell also played a central role in the jump.global Summit, the company’s end‑of‑year retreat. The summit features intimate conversations with award‑winning entertainment executives and institutions, and is designed to foster networking and mentorship within the community.

Jump.global describes itself as a year‑round membership community that simplifies access to industry events and resources. The company maintains a presence on LinkedIn, where it has 2,155 followers, and a Crunchbase profile that lists it as a marketing agency that hosts summits and events.

While Farrell’s departure marks the end of a significant chapter for jump.global, the organization remains committed to its mission of supporting music‑industry professionals. The company’s leadership team has not announced a replacement for Farrell, but has stated that operations will continue under the existing executive structure.

Industry observers note that Farrell’s exit comes at a time when music‑industry communities are expanding their digital offerings. The company’s virtual summit model, exemplified by Volumes, has proven popular among students and early‑career professionals.

As of the latest public statements, Farrell will be available for contact after August 7 via his personal email. No further details have been released regarding his next professional engagement.

The music‑industry community will continue to watch jump.global’s next steps as it navigates leadership changes and seeks to maintain its position as a hub for networking, education and event management.
