PRS announces four new senior hires
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 16 August 2018
UK collecting society PRS For Music has announced four new appointments that, it says, will “bolster its leadership team”. And everyone loves a good bolster.
First up, Claire Jarvis joins the organisation from PRS customer Sky to become Director Of Membership. Next Sami Valkonen joins from PRS’s lovely neighbour and occasional arch enemy Google to become Director Of International. Existing exec Rachael Naylor is promoted internally to the new role of Director of Operations And Distributions, while Barney Hooper – most recently with AEG – returns to the society to take on another new role, that of Director Of Communications And Marketing.
Confirming all this, PRS top man boss dude Robert Ashcroft employed some words thus: “The high standard of service we aspire to provide to our members, our licensees and our fellow societies depends on our people and we are proud not only to have hired three key individuals with diverse experience with major music users, but also to have recognised rising talent from within. I would like to welcome all four to their new roles at PRS For Music”.
