DAN ROSEN has been named President of WARNER MUSIC/AUSTRALASIA, effective FEBRUARY 1st 2021.

Reporting to WARNER RECORDED MUSIC CEO International And Global Commercial Services STU BERGEN, ROSEN succeeds NIKO NORDSTROM, who will return to his native country to become Managing Director of WARNER MUSIC FINLAND and VP, WARNER MUSIC NORDICS
 
Commented BERGEN, “DAN is coming to us with an extraordinary depth of knowledge and range of experience – as a pioneering exec, an artists’ advocate, and a successful performer himself. He’s seen the business from all sides and has been a passionate and fearless defender and protector of the rights of music creators in the digital age. He’ll be an exceptional addition to our global leadership team, and a great champion of our amazing artists and teams in AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND.” 
 
Added ROSEN, “I am honored to have been given the opportunity to take up the leadership of such an iconic AUSTRALIAN record company and would like to thank NIKO for his hard work and dedication to the local industry over the last three and a half years. This is an exciting and dynamic time for music, with an explosion in opportunities across streaming and social media, especially given the levelling of traditional barriers in genre and geography. I am also very aware that the challenges of the pandemic demands that we remain very focused on protecting creators’ rights. I’m looking forward to collaborating with the world-class team at WARNER, expanding our investment in local talent, and strengthening the impact of AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND artists on the global stage.”
