Spotify appoint UK MD
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 3 April 2009
Talking of unlimited music services, Spotify has appointed Paul Brown, formerly International MD for US-based streaming music provider Pandora, as their UK MD.
Brown who, as previously reported, is also on the board of fan investment service Slicethepie, will head up the UK operations of the ever popular Spotify from later this month. He will be charged with developing the service’s label relationships, and overseeing business development in the UK, especially through strategic alliances. He will also work with the company’s UK ad sales man Jon Mitchell to boost all important ad revenues.
Confirming his appointment, Brown said this: “I am hugely excited about joining the Spotify team. The people in the business are passionate about it and it shows in the service itself. The thing that has struck me and others is that consumers are responding so positively to Spotify because it works, it is simple and slick and there is so much more to come. An important part of the job will be to work closely with labels, artists and their management and other partners to user growth and revenues while continuing to develop the product to be the very best it can. I am looking forward to playing my part in that”.
