Terra Firma execs leave EMI

Three Terra Firma executives who took roles at EMI have left both companies, and more Terra Firma staff are expected to depart as Elio Leoni-Sceti builds his own team, The Telegraph reports.

Three executives from private equity company and EMI owners Terra Firma who took on exec roles at the major label have left both companies - ie they've reportedly finished working for EMI and aren't returning to Terra Firma to take on other roles there.

According to the Telegraph, the departing executives are Chris Roling, Francois van der Spuy and Ashley Unwin, the latter of whom became EMI's COO after being parachuted into the music company following Terra Firma's acquisition of it last year.

The Telegraph reckons that other Terra Firma types who got roles at the major will also depart in the next month as Elio Leoni-Sceti, the man eventually put in place as CEO of EMI Music by Terra Firma chief Guy Hands, recruits his own team of execs.
