WARNER MUSIC GROUP has promoted SVP/Digital Legal Affairs JON GLASS to SVP/Head of Digital Legal Affairs, reporting to EVP/General Counsel PAUL ROBINSON and replacing the retiring RON WILCOX.

“JON is the kind of person you want on your side of the negotiating table,” said ROBINSON. “He’s a savvy and level-headed deal-maker with a wealth of experience in all things digital. He sees the big picture and also the details. I’ve watched JON lead the charge on many of our most strategic and cutting-edge deals, and I know he’ll make a great leader as we navigate uncharted territory and explore fresh opportunities for our artists and labels. As RON passes the torch, we wish him well. His counsel and expertise over the past ten years have been invaluable.”
 
“It’s an exciting time to be in this business, as new technology is constantly emerging and new opportunities for consumers to experience our music are expanding,” added GLASS, who worked at SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT and at several law firms before joining WMG in 2010. “It’s also a crucial time, as we defend and champion the value of music with fair and equitable deals that make sense for our artists and labels. I’m happy to be doing this great work in collaboration with our wonderful BD and digital legal teams. I am grateful to PAUL and WMG for this opportunity, and to RON for his years of training and mentorship.”
