Warner Bros. Records (WBR) has appointed Michele Nadelman as Chief Financial Officer.
Nadelman (pictured main) joins WBR following 12 years at Concord Music, where she was CFO of Recorded Music and SVP of Finance for Concord Music Corporate.
In her new position, she will be based at WBR’s headquarters in Los Angeles and report to the label’s Co-Chairman & COO Tom Corson.
While at Concord Music, Nadelman was responsible for all of the company’s accounting and financial operations.
She managed a string of successful M&A transactions, including the company’s merger with Bicycle Music, the acquisition and integration of Imagem, the merger with Village Roadshow Pictures Group, and the integration of Paul McCartney/Wings’ catalog administration.
In total, she played an integral role in the acquisition and integration of over 30 record label and publishing companies.
Prior to joining Concord in 2007, Nadelman held management roles in finance and accounting, strategic planning, and operations at both blue-chip and start-up entertainment and music industry companies, including The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., Gameworks, DMX Music, and Lucky Strike Lanes.
“Michele brings a great combination of financial savvy and hands-on label experience to her new post at WBR.”
