BMG appoints Irish chief
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 24 May 2011
Still-rather-acquisitive-even-if-they-didn’t-manage-to-buy-Warner music rights firm BMG has announced the appointment of Mary Ann Slim to the role of MD for its Irish division.
Slim, who previously worked for the old BMG music publishing company (which is now part of Universal), became part of the new BMG team after they acquired London-based Stage Three Music, where she had worked since 2003. In her new role she will oversee all of BMG’s interests in Ireland, most of which come from their acquisition last year of Chrysalis Music, and which includes S1 Songs.
Confirming the new appointment, BMG top dog Hartwig Masuch told CMU: “Mary Ann has extensive experience in the marketing of music publishing catalogues and in building new businesses. Her skills will be invaluable to S1 Songs and BMG Chrysalis in Ireland”.
