Universal Music yesterday announced that Orla Lee, currently Marketing Director for Polydor UK, will become the division's General Manager.
I'm not sure what that really means, though Lee will now oversee all marketing activity for both Polydor and it's A&M imprint, taking over some responsibilities from Karen Simmons who will be spending more time on the marketing and sales potential of the internet and mobile phones and all that modern nonsense.
Confirming Lee's promotion, Polydor president Ferdy Unger-Hamilton said this: "Orla's creativity, vision and passion for the artists she works with have played a massive part in Polydor's recent success. She is an exceptional executive who I know will build on PUK's already extraordinary achievements in her new role".
