Former Virgin GM latest EMI exec to jump ship

Former Virgin Records General Manger Mark Terry is the latest senior exec to jump the good ship EMI. Following the major restructuring at EMI post Terra Firma's acquisition of the record company, Terry moved from his role at the top of the Virgin UK division to become SVP Marketing for all of EMI Music UK and Ireland, and was also a member of the major's 'global marketing leadership team'. A spokesman for the major confirmed Terry was departing yesterday. The UK marketing team will now report directly into the major's European marketing boss Bart Cools.
