Corson Leaving RCA For WBR
And there will be additional major movement within the upper echelon of the Warner Music Group executive ranks at the end of this week — as was previously reported, Max Lousada, Chairman & CEO of Warner Music UK is set to become Warner Music Group’s CEO of Recorded Music on October 1. As the Variety piece says, “Current [WBR] Chairman and CEO Cameron Strang is expected to stay on in some capacity.”
Corson got his start as an intern at IRS Records in the early ’80s before joining A&M, where he was heavily involved in launching Soundgarden. That was followed by stops at Capitol, Columbia, Arista and J Records; Corson and RCA CEO Peter Edge took the reins at RCA in 2011. You are advised to watch this space for further official details.
