Meanwhile Stephen Dallas was appointed VP Digital Legal Affairs & Business Development, charged with negotiating licensing agreements with digital service providers and investigating new digital business opportunities.
On this side of the Atlantic, Iain Morris has been promoted to the new role of Head Of Digital, Europe. Based in London, he will become the primary point of contact for digital licensees across the region, and will also lead Warner/Chappell’s Pan-European Digital Licensing initiative.
Commenting on all this, the Warner man who oversees the major’s publishing business, Cameron Strang, told CMU: “Warner/Chappell is a bold and determined digital pioneer. We are committed to providing our outstanding songwriters with dynamic, best-in-class services that maximise revenue generating opportunities for their songs. Thanks to Ann’s extensive experience, outstanding negotiating skills and deep understanding of the industry, she has played a significant role in accelerating the growth of our digital footprint.
