Bauman oversaw more than $1 billion in strategic deals, partnerships, creator programs, and acquisitions during his tenure, helping to scale revenue, subscribers, and Spotify's reach to 237 countries. He has negotiated landmark deals with high-profile creators and brands, including Joe Rogan, Alex Cooper, Barack and Michelle Obama, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Bad Robot, Disney, Formula 1, WWE, Warner Bros./DC Comics, and CoComelon, as well as global distribution agreements with major networks, including Paramount, NBC, ABC, Discovery, Scripps, and Verizon.
