Sony Music have promoted Richard Story to the New York based role of President of the major's Commercial Music Group, which will see him head up the Legacy Recordings division, as well as other catalogue marketing operations and some of the major's sync rights business. He'll report straight to Sony Music top man Rolf Schmidt-Holtz.
Meanwhile, Kevin Lawrie, has been named President of Sony Music Europe, which possibly sees him taking over some of Story's previous responsibilities in his last Sony role, COO for Europe. Lawrie's new role as President, Europe will see him coordinating the major's European and, erm, South African offices.
