Lohan Presencer, who has been CEO of Ministry Of Sound for the past 17 years, is moving into a new role at the company.
Following the sale of the Ministry record company to Sony, Presencer becomes Chairman of the Ministry Of Sound Group – which continues to operate a successful nightclub and licensing operation, in addition to music publishing and other divisions.
The day-to-day running of the Ministry Of Sound Group will be left to new CEO Jonathan Bevan, who is a former President of Europe and Australia/NZ at Clear Channel.
By stepping up to Chairman, Presencer (pictured) takes over from company founder Lord (James) Palumbo of Southwark, who remains the majority shareholder in the Ministry business.
Bevan said “As Ministry of Sound approaches its 25th anniversary later this month I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities for the business.
“I look forward to working closely with Jonathan across our current and future businesses.”
