More EMI restructuring for you. Is it just me, or is this all getting a bit tedious? Simone Bose, GM of EMI Music Spain, is being promoted to MD of EMI Music Iberia, overseeing the major's operations in both Spain and Portugal and reporting directly to Jean-Francois Cecillon, the boss of EMI's recently launched international division.
Manolo Diaz, current CEO of EMI Music Iberia, will take on a new role in that international division working as a 'special advisor' and, in the first instance, overseeing EMI's Latin American regional office and EMI Music Brazil, where the existing CEO, Marco Bissi, is leaving the company - possibly because of that previously reported accounting scandal at the major's Brazilian division that had not inconsiderable impact on the majors group level finances.
Diaz's appointment to coordinate Latin American operations will not effect EMI Televisa, the JV between EMI and Mexican media giant Televisa, whose US and Mexican operations will continue to be run by Rodolfo Lopez-Negrete who will continue to report directly to Cecillon.
