The UK Music Publishers Association, MPA, has announced that its CEO Sarah Osborn has left the organisation.
Osborn succeeded Stephen Navin in 2013 having previously served as the trade association’s General Manager.
MPA Chairman Chris Butler paid tribute to Osborn’s contribution to both roles saying, “The MPA board and membership wish to thank Sarah for all her hard work during a time of transition which has seen the formation of PMLL, the separation of our subsidiary company MCPS from PRS and the evolution of IMPEL. We wish her well in the future.”
In response, Osborn commented, “As the MPA emerges from a period of significant change it’s now time for me to take on a new challenge. I want to thank the MPA for giving me the opportunity to lead the association and shape its future.”
Osborn joined the MPA as General Manager in April 2012 having previously been at Schott Music, where she worked for eight years, rising through the ranks to become Head of Contemporary Music.Music Business Worldwide
