Warner Music International has headhunted the MD of EMI Taiwan, Sam Chen, to take over the newly created role of CEO for the Warner Music Chinese Mandarin Group.
The Beijing-based Warner division was created earlier this year by the merger of the company's China and Taiwan businesses, with the aim of fostering more co-promotion between the two territories. Chen will report to the Hong Kong-based Lachie Rutherford, who is President of Warner Music Asia Pacific.
