Universal Music Publishing promotes its income tracking chief
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 30 June 2015
It’s all about the royalty data, right? Well, Universal Music Publishing has promoted its VP of Income Tracking, Randi Olsen, to the role of Senior VP Of Income Tracking and Analytics. Which might just look like the addition of two words, but it’s all joined up with plans to expand the operations of Olsen’s department to provide ever more analytics and insights to songwriters signed to the major.
Confirming the appointment, the Universal music publishing firm’s CFO Worldwide Michael J Sammis told reporters: “The importance of ‘income tracking’ in the music publishing industry cannot be overstated. Randi’s commitment to this process provides immeasurable value to Universal Music Publishing and its songwriter partners”.
He went in: “She and her staff work closely with all departments, including licensing and creative, to identify issues and secure, protect and maximise our collective economic interests. This is a well-deserved promotion and I look forward to continuing to work closely with Randi and her team.”
Longtime Universal exec Olsen added: “It’s an exciting time at Universal Music Publishing and it has been a blessing to work with Mike Sammis and the team for the last eighteen years! I’m very grateful for the incredible opportunity to expand our income tracking operations, particularly during this time in our business when this area is even more complex and important to the future of our industry”.
