Warner Music Group announces a set of leadership changes, including naming Val Blavatnik to the company’s executive team. The appointments also involve additional promotions across Warner Music’s distribution and international leadership.
Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter both report that Elliot Grainge, CEO of Atlantic Music Group, will take on the role of chairman of ADA, Warner Music’s distribution arm. They also agree that Alejandro Duque, president of Warner Music Latin America, is appointed president of Warner Music International.
Both outlets frame the updates as part of a broader executive reshuffle at Warner Music. Billboard adds that Simon Robson is leaving the company as part of the same series of announcements, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international position. The Hollywood Reporter describes the moves as a suite of leadership promotions, without detailing Robson’s departure in the provided excerpt.
