Rob Wells, who stepped down as Universal Music’s President Of Global Digital Business in February, has re-emerged on the advisory board of Revelator, a Jerusalem-based sales and marketing data platform for independent music. Wells is also joined by EMI’s former Senior Vice President Of Digital Strategy And Development, Tom Ryan.

Announcing the appointment of the two former major label execs to its advisory panel, Revelator CEO Bruno Guez said: “Analytics and data are becoming increasingly important in the music world, and it is crucial that all artists have open and transparent access to this information either independently or through their record label. Rob and Tom understand this vision and have the experience necessary to help us bring it to fruition via Revelator. We have already made significant strides with our all-in-one solution and look forward to working with them to make it even better”.

Wells added: “Over the years, I’ve watched the digital music business evolve considerably and have been fortunate enough to have a hand in shaping it. Now, I look forward to impacting the business again with Revelator. Data is the name of the game, and we’ll be focusing all our energies into making it affordable and advantageous for all artists, labels, and other music companies to have this information accessible and easy to understand”.
