Billboard owner Guggenheim Media Entertainment Group has announced Tony Gervino as the new Editor-in-chief for the music business title. Gervino was previously Executive Editor at Hearst Magazines International and takes up his new role officially on 28 Apr.

He will report directly in to Guggenheim Chief Creative Officer Janice Min, who said of the new appointment: “Tony has both the editorial vision and newsroom drive to lead Billboard into its next act. His enthusiasm and knowledge for music and editing, plus a demonstrated track record in the creation of compelling content on both a niche and mass scale make him an excellent choice for Billboard”.

Gervino himself added: “Billboard is the platform that the music business speaks from. With millions of fans connecting to the artists, songs, labels, producers and albums they love through the Billboard brand, we’re in the truly incredible position of being able to influence music around the world. I can’t overstate how exciting an opportunity this is for me, both on a professional and personal level”.

As Gervino takes up his new post, current Billboard editor Joe Levy will move into the new role as Editor-At-Large.
