Another EMI exec quits

Cory Ondrejka is leaving his role as VP Digital Marketing at EMI, the second digital appointment to depart after Douglas Merrill, with his duties passing to Ernesto Schmitt.

Another day, another resignation. EMI should get that put above their door. According to Billboard, Second Life co-founder Cory Ondrejka is quitting his role as VP Digital Marketing with the major.

Ondrejka, like former Google man Douglas Merrill, who has also since quit, were two of the all new EMI's bold digital appointments, designed to bring web expertise into the business.

EMI have said that Ondrejka "misses his life as an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley" and wants to travel less so he can spend more time with his family. He's not frustrated with the slow progress being made in reinventing the major record company, nor is he jumping from a sinking ship. So stop saying those things will you?

Those who previously reported to Ondrejka will now report to Ernesto Schmitt, the sinking ship's, sorry, I mean EMI's marketing and catalogue top man.
