Universal UK finance exec relocates to Capitol in LA
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 11 February 2014
Former Universal Music UK exec Geoff Harris is relocating to LA to become CFO of the major’s Capitol Music Group. So that’s exciting. For him.
Harris will report in to both CMG boss Steve Barnett and UMG’s overall CFO Boyd Muir in this new role, the latter of which told reporters: “Geoff is that rare financial professional who is at ease within the creative environment, and who throughout his tenure at our UK company has demonstrated time and time again that he can walk that fine line between creativity and commercialism”.
Harris himself added: “Having been with Universal Music for many years, the opportunity to join Steve and his team in shaping CMG’s future is one that excites me, both professionally and personally. I thank Steve and Boyd for welcoming me to the US and I’m thrilled to get started”.
