Upon her departure, a party was organized by Epic Records' chairman and CEO L.A. Reid to celebrate her work over the 20 years that she was employed at Epic.[8] The party was held in the penthouse of the Dream Hotel in New York[8] and attended by record executives that included Charlie Walk, Tom Poleman, and Joel Klaiman.[7]

Saturn left Epic Records in 2013 to join Harvest Records, a subsidiary of Capitol Records Music Group.

Saturn previously worked for Capitol Music Group's CEO Steve Barnett for 9 years during her time at Epic.[9]

In September 2018, Saturn was promoted to President of Caroline, Capitol Music Group's independent distribution and label arms service.

She will oversee all aspects of Caroline business, including artist and label signings, partnerships and strategic alliances.[10] In February 2021, Saturn became President of Virgin Music, shortly after Universal fully acquired Caroline from Capitol Music Group and re-branded its label and artist services.[11]
