\t\t\t\t\tOle Obermann to Exit as TikTok\u2019s Global Head of Music Business\u00a0Development\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

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

\n\tObermann, who left his role<\/a> as global head of music business development at ByteDance earlier this year, worked at the Chinese company for more than five years, having started as vp\/global head of music at TikTok. Before that, he worked at Warner Music Group as chief digital officer\/executive vp of strategy and business development and at Sony Music, where he worked on striking licensing renewals with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and other DSPs. During his time at TikTok, the platform became a prime music discovery engine, leading to a massive shift in the way music was created and marketed. It also went through a tense period with the record labels, including a prolonged standoff with Universal Music Group that ended when the two companies struck a licensing deal last May. Obermann was succeeded in his role at ByteDance by Tracy Gardner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\tNewman, meanwhile, is an Apple Music veteran, having been with the streaming platform for more than 16 years, most recently as global head of content and editorial. This year, she was named to Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Women in Music list<\/a> alongside several of her colleagues. \u201cWe have really leaned into one of our most core attributes as a company this past year: weaving the humanities into everything we do,\u201d she told Billboard <\/em>at the time.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with its continued role as the sponsor for the Super Bowl halftime show, Apple Music\u2019s recent initiatives include its 100 Best Albums editorial initiative and its Apple Music Live series, through which it has produced live performances for artists including Bj\u00f6rk, SZA, Camila Cabello, Jennifer Lopez and Kacey Musgraves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
