Beyond their love for U-M, Heather (Econ, Music ’99) and Seth (PoliSci ’97) are husband and wife, successful entrepreneurs in their respective fields, and business owners. Both credit their LSA experience, along with mentors and internships, and their ability to think critically, to find careers that combine each of their passions and skills, and to create businesses that serve unmet needs in their respective fields.

About Heather Adelman Gladstein:
As a Celebrity Assistant, Consultant and Tour Manager, Heather works with some of the world’s top classical music and theater stars, including Broadway legend Audra McDonald. Before establishing her own business in 2005, Heather worked in New York for six years as the Director of Artist Services in the Vocal Division of IMG Artists, the premier classical music management agency. A geographical change prompted Heather to consider a potential career shift. She recognized that artists at the highest level of their craft needed more direct support and she started her business to provide these services. In 2019, Musical America recognized Heather as a “Professional of the Year” for having created a unique business and for being an industry innovator, independent thinker and entrepreneur. Heather graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts where she double majored in Music and Economics.
