Spotify appoints Head Of Global Business Development
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 30 August 2013
Spotify has appointed Jorge Espinel, previously a digital strategy man at News Corp, to the role of Head Of Global Business Development, seemingly basically replacing Gerrit Meier, who departed the steaming firm nearly a year ago.
According to Billboard, Espinel’s main job at Spotify will be to seek new strategic partnerships with tel cos and suchlike that result in sizable subscriber increases in key territories.
Billboard also speculates that, given Espinel is from Colombia, seeking such partnerships in Latin America, a particular target for most digital music services at the moment, will be a priority.
