While the jobs cuts are kicking in over at EMI Music US, sister company EMI Music Publishing have been announcing some promotions - as previously reported, the EMI pubbery is likely to avoid any jobs cull. The two promotions in the major's US publishing business were in the music services and licensing department, where Kristin Durie has been promoted to VP Music Services & Licensing, and Jovanka Ciares has been appointed Senior Director of Music Services & Licensing.
The Senior VP for that division, Nancy Weshkof, told reporters: "Kristin and Jovanka have both played an integral role in the success of our licensing operations, and in continually improving the level of service that we provide to our many and varied clients. Both of them are creative and innovative in their approach to licensing, and their promotions are well deserved reflections of their achievements since joining EMI Music Publishing".
