New Board Members

SOUNDEXCHANGE has added four new members to its Board of Directors, including RIAA Chairman/CEO MITCH GLAZIER, UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP SVP for Business and Legal Affairs ALASDAIR MCMULLAN, attorney LAURIE SORIANO, and SONY MUSIC EVP and Head, Business and Legal Affairs, Global Digital Business JEFF WALKER.  WALKER and MCMULLAN are returning to the board, having previously served as directors; GLAZIER and MCMULLAN's appointments came at the beginning of the year, while WALKER and SORIANO were recently appointed.

SOUNDEXCHANGE President and CEO MICHAEL HUPPE said, "I am pleased to welcome MITCH, ALASDAIR, LAURIE, and JEFF to the SOUNDEXCHANGE Board of Directors. Their experience and perspective about our rapidly growing industry combined with the deep respect of their peers, will be a tremendous addition to our board and I am looking forward to working with them."

GLAZIER said, "I have worked with MIKE and the SOUNDEXCHANGE team for years and I know the positive impact they have made as advocates for music creators. We worked closely together on the fight to pass the Music Modernization Act, and I am honored to join SOUNDEXCHANGE in this capacity."

"While many aspects of the music industry continue to change and evolve, one constant during my career has been to focus on supporting the rights of music creators," said MCMULLAN. "I'm proud to bring that same emphasis to SOUNDEXCHANGE's board and the company's mission of providing royalty solutions for labels and recording artists."

"SOUNDEXCHANGE and its subsidiaries, SXWORKS and CMRRA, have developed important tools that benefit recording artists and songwriters alike. I look forward to helping SOUNDEXCHANGE as they continue to deliver new solutions for all creators in our industry," said SORIANO.

And WALKER added, "Digital royalties like those administered by SOUNDEXCHANGE enable our industry to continue investing in new music. SOUNDEXCHANGE's services are more important than ever to recording artists and to companies that support recording artists. I appreciate the opportunity to serve on its Board once again."
