Deezer announces new UK & Ireland MD
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 14 October 2014
Deezer has announced Christian Harris as its new Managing Director for the UK & Ireland. He replaces Mark Foster, who announced his departure in May following the resignation of CEO Alex Dauchez, both of whom left the company last month.
Harris joins from video streaming company Gorillabox, where he was CEO. On his new role, he said: “Deezer’s unrivalled mix of man and machine sets the service apart, and I’m delighted to join the team at this exciting time for digital music services. We’ve made great strides in the UK and Ireland, and I’m looking forward to building on that and really putting Deezer front of mind for music lovers”.
Meanwhile, Deezer has also signed up to a new partnership with Vodafone subsidiary Vodacom in South Africa. The mobile provider confirmed earlier this month that it plans to offer Deezer as an add-on on some of its packages, similar to other deals Deezer and its competitors have done in other territories in a bid to gain market share.
