Tony Harlow To Become Chairman/CEO At Warner Music UK

WARNER MUSIC GROUP CEO/Recorded Music MAX LOUSADA taps TONY HARLOW as Chairman/CEO of WARNER MUSIC UK (WMUK), starting in FEBRUARY 2020. HARLOW succeeds LOUSADA, who has been Chairman/CEO of WMUK since 2013, having retained the position when he assumed his global role two years ago.

LOUSADA said, “TONY has a depth and diversity of experience that few can match. Ever since his days behind the counter at a BEGGARS BANQUET record shop, he’s been a true artist champion with a total passion for music. And as an entrepreneurial leader, he has a progressive and ambitious vision for where the business needs to go next. He’ll be a great mentor to the next generation of creatives and executives, building an environment where original talent is nurtured and challenged. This is obviously a job that’s very close to my heart, and I couldn’t be leaving it in better hands.”

HARLOW noted, “The U.K. is a vital source for many of the world’s most influential artists, cultural trends, and creative innovations. At the same time, it’s been leading the way in erasing the barriers of genre and geography for international talent. I’m very happy to be coming home to work with the extraordinary, record-breaking artists and team at WMUK. I’m so pleased I’ll get to continue working with my amazing colleagues at WEA in this new role, and I want to thank MAX for giving me this wonderful opportunity."
