PRS confirms two promotions
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 13 November 2014
The UK music publishing sector’s collecting society PRS For Music announced two new promotions yesterday, with Paul Clements becoming Commercial Director and Karen Buse Executive Director Of Membership And International.
Clements has been with the rights organisation since 1996, most recently as Director Of Public Performance Sales, while Buse, who joined the society way back in 1991, has been overseeing membership in addition to her original role leading international matters on an interim basis, but will now do so permanently.
Confirming all of this, just in case you didn’t believe me, PRS boss man Robert Ashcroft said: “I am particularly pleased that, after a comprehensive search, the strongest candidates for both these roles came from within the organisation. Paul has impressive knowledge of the industry, excellent strategic and leadership skills and I am very pleased to appoint him to this key role”.
He went on: “Karen is also steeped in our industry and has made excellent network contacts around the world. She also understands the needs of the membership and has already made strides in improving our service to them. Her combination of commercial acumen and relationship skills equip her perfectly for this important role”.
