By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 24 July 2013
Universal Music yesterday appointed David Rowe to the job of GM A&R & Commerce within its UK catalogue division. Rowe previously ran catalogue campaigns for EMI.
Rowe will report into Universal Music Catalogue MD Karen Simmonds who told CMU: “David is a hugely experienced executive with a real love for music and artists, combined with enthusiasm, energy and focus. I am delighted he is joining the team at UMC”.
Rowe himself added: “The Universal Music catalogue represents the largest collection of master recordings ever assembled by one company – the challenge is to take great care of that legacy yet while adopting new technologies. I am very much looking forward to being part of UMC’s great team after ten fantastic years at EMI”.
