Description from Wikipedia:
Thomas Daniel 'Tommy' Mottola is an American music executive and co-owner of Casablanca Records in a joint venture with the Universal Music Group. He is the former husband of singer Mariah Carey, and is currently married to Mexican singer Thalía. He headed Sony Music Entertainment, parent of the Columbia label, for nearly 15 years.
Apart from his experience in managing music outfits, Mottola is known as a mentor and former talent manager. His most famous proteges were Hall & Oates, Carly Simon, John Mellencamp,Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, Diana Ross, and Taylor Dayne in the 80s, Mariah Carey (his second wife) in the 1990s and Jennifer Lopez in the early 2000s. Thalía (his third wife and a famous Mexican singer) and Tommy have just celebrated the birth of their first child together, a daughter, named Sabrina Sakae. (per Associated Press dated 10/9/2007)
Mottola was born in the Bronx, New York. He attended Iona Preparatory School in New Rochelle, New York, graduating in 1967. He briefly attended Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York before dropping out.

Wishing to stay in the industry, Mottola started Champion Entertainment Organization Inc. to manage other artists. While working at the Chappell music-publishing company, he became the mentor to Philadelphia-based soul/rock performers Daryl Hall and John Oates.
