Spotify names Joe Hadley as vice president of Global Music Content and Partnerships, expanding its leadership in music programming and partner-focused initiatives. The appointment is announced by Spotify’s global head of music, Charlie Hellman, who says the role will keep artist advocacy central and strengthen the impact of Spotify’s programming.
Billboard also reports that Spotify’s leadership changes include an additional editorial appointment: J.J. Italiano is named head of editorial at the streaming service. While the outlets focus on different aspects of the reshuffle—one emphasizing Hadley’s content and partnership responsibilities and the other highlighting Italiano’s editorial leadership—both describe the same set of personnel moves within Spotify’s music organization.
