Dej Mahoney has joined West One Music Group as Non-Executive Chairman.
The company states that Mahoney’s appointment is part of a “wider five-year strategy” that also includes expansion of their sales and production network and the enlargement of the royalties and finance teams in support of the international growth.
Matt Blondek, previously at PWC, joined as Group Chief Accountant earlier in the year to bring his experience to the expansion plans and to drive the development and integration of West One Music’s business processes and technology.
Originally a graduate in law from Cambridge University, Mahoney has over 30 years of experience within the music and media industries, including nearly a decade leading Business Affairs at Sony Music UK.
Mahoney is a trustee on the Governing Board of the BRIT School for the Performing Arts and is a founding director of All Our Business Ltd (AOB), a boutique legal and business consultancy in music, entertainment and related sectors.
West One Music Group recently expanded into Latin America, Australia, the US and the Nordics, alongside the launch of a new Custom division.
“Having known some of the leadership team for close to 30 years, this feels like a very natural partnership built on trust, respect and shared business values.”
