Three other senior appointments were also made - former BMG Head of Video Mike O'Keefe becomes Director of Video, former Sony Director of Artist Relations Jackie Hyde takes the same job at the merged major, and Roma Martyniuk, formerly Head of Creative Services at BMG, will become Director of Creative Services.
All six will report to Senior VP Catherine Davies.
