The International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry has promoted Jo Oliver, previously the head of their always busy litigation department, to the job of General Counsel. The global record label trade body's boss John Kennedy said this: "Jo is an outstanding lawyer and strategist, as well as a natural team-leader who has already proved her worth to the international recording industry. She commands tremendous respect from both within the IFPI membership and outside it. Her knowledge, drive and experience made her the perfect candidate for this appointment". The General Counsel role at the IFPI has been vacant since early last year when Geoff Taylor left to take over the CEO job at UK label trade body BPI.
