So it should come as little surprise that the Academy of Country Music’s new CEO is looking beyond Sunday’s 52nd Annual ACM Awards to a strategic planning session with the Academy’s leadership.

He’s been on the Academy’s board for 15 years and has dealt with many of country music’s top artists while at the Opry. “I would say I’m really wired to do this kind of work and I really love it,” Fisher said. And also I wouldn’t take the job if I didn’t think I could add value to the Academy.”
