“She brings wide-ranging global experience to her new position, combined with a terrific legal mind and impressive managerial expertise and organizational abilities. I’m very happy to announce her well-deserved promotion to this leadership role.”

We’re finding innovative ways to expand global opportunities for our artists and songwriters, while growing our international footprint by entering fresh territories, opening up new licensing avenues, and pioneering digital initiatives.
“I want to thank Paul for this amazing new opportunity, and my wonderful colleagues for their support.”
