KOOKER will work closely with Pres./Global Digital Business & U.S. Sales THOMAS HESSE to oversee all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the Global Digital Business and U.S. Sales group.

"I am thrilled to announce DENNIS’ promotion," HESSE stated. "In JANUARY, DENNIS agreed to serve as interim head of physical sales, and in that capacity he implemented changes that have significantly improved our competitiveness in the shifting marketplace. He achieved this while continuing to oversee essential functions in our Group, including Finance, Sales Reporting, Research, the U.S. Supply Chain and our artist website activities. Now that JJ SCHAIDLER has joined SONY BMG as the new EVP of U.S. Sales, DENNIS will take on an expanded role on our senior management team.

"We are building a world class team and it is an honor that THOMAS has given me the opportunity to take a leadership role that works across our talented group."
