CMG Co-President Arjun Pulijal Exits

• Fallout from the massive reorganization inside Universal Music Group continues — it was announced today that Capitol Music Group co-President Arjun Pulijal has stepped down after 11 years with the company. Pulijal announced his departure in a lengthy staff memo, which was initially published in Billboard.

Pulijal’s departure is the latest significant executive action inside the Capitol Tower — the pieces started moving in earnest on Feb. 7, when Michelle Jubelirer announced her departure as Chair & CEO of Capitol Music Group. The following day, it was announced that Geffen Records President Tom March had been appointed as Chairman & CEO of Capitol Music Group (CMG), and Lillia Parsa, who was most recently SVP of A&R at Universal Music Publishing Group was named as Co-President of CMG, presumably alongside Pulijal.

Pulijal was promoted to President of Capitol Music Group (CMG) in January 2022. At the time he has been serving as Senior Vice President of Marketing for Capitol Records. [Photo credit: Rachael Wright]
