\n\tAs the Warner Music Group continues to reshuffle its executive ranks, the company has made two new announcements today (Oct. 7). <\/p>\n

\n\tFirst, Eric Wong<\/strong>, who has been chief marketing officer at the major label since 2020, will shift into the newly-created role of global head of A&R, recorded music, and assume the presidency of East West Records, which was originally launched in 1955 as part of Atlantic Records.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWarner Music Group Announces Major Executive Restructure, Max Lousada to Step\u00a0Down\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tAs part of that transition, WMG\u2019s executive vp of global marketing Jessica Keeley-Carter<\/strong> has been promoted to step into the role of chief marketing officer, recorded music. Keeley-Carter has been at WMG since 2019, when she joined as senior vp of global marketing, before being promoted to executive vp in 2022. Both Wong and Keeley-Carter will report to WMG CEO Robert Kyncl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEric\u2019s newly-created role leans into his long-standing relationships within the artistic community and his deep understanding of how music travels around the world,\u201d Kyncl said in a statement announcing the news. \u201cJess is an expert marketer and an inventive leader, who will help us orchestrate best-in-class ways of cutting through the noise in an increasingly complex and cluttered world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThese moves are part of the broader restructuring of WMG<\/a> that Kyncl announced in August, which was in pursuit of what Kyncl said at the time was a \u201cflatter structure\u201d for the company. As part of those moves, WMG CEO of recorded music Max Lousada<\/strong> exited the company, and Elliot Grainge<\/strong> was named as the new CEO of Atlantic Music Group<\/a>, while Kyncl himself took on direct oversight of the heads of global catalog, marketing, distribution company ADA and fan and merch division WMX. As part of the fallout of the moves, longtime Atlantic leader Julie Greenwald<\/strong>, 300 Elektra Entertainment chairman\/CEO Kevin Liles<\/strong> and a host of senior Atlantic and Elektra executives also departed the company, among other moves.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m excited to build even closer relationships with our artists and put greater firepower behind our worldwide network to connect the dots, unlock new value and magnify opportunities for emerging talent,\u201d Wong said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019d like to congratulate Jess on her promotion, and thank Robert for his trust in me to take on this new position.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWarner Music Group Announces Restructure of Atlantic Music Group, Including\u00a0Layoffs\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tWong, who years ago had served as a senior vp of marketing at Atlantic, returned to Warner in the global CMO role in 2020, after a decade at Universal Music Group that saw him rise to the role of COO of Island Records. With East West as well as his global A&R role, Wong will be tasked with \u201cidentifying local talents with global potential and accelerating their pathway to global success,\u201d according to a press release. Keeley-Carter, prior to joining Warner, had worked at Meta overseeing commercial labor partnerships for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and prior to that had also worked at UMG, where she spent eight years.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWith the collective WMG team collaborating even more closely in our new structure, we\u2019ll be set up to take our artists and labels to new heights,\u201d Keeley-Carter said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to Robert for this opportunity, I\u2019d like to thank Eric for his guidance and partnership over the years, and I\u2019m looking forward to continuing our work together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
