BMG appoints former Warner/Chappell chief
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 29 October 2010
In a busy day for music company appointments, BMG Rights Management had some recruitment news yesterday, too. The company has just appointed Richard Blackstone, the former CEO of Warner Music’s publishing company, Warner/Chappell, to the role of Chief Creative Officer for its US division.
Based in New York, Blackstone will report directly to BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch, and will oversee the company’s existing American roster and look for new opportunities for the acquisitive music rights business. Masuch told reporters Blackstone was the “perfect addition” to his team to ensure further expansion in the US market.
