• Warner Chappell Music, the global publishing arm of Warner Music Group, announced the promotions of Natalie Madaj to Senior Vice President, Digital Licensing, Americas, and Daniel Lang to Vice President, Digital Licensing, EMEIA (Europe, the Middle East, India & Africa).
In their new roles, the pair will continue to report to Eric Mackay, EVP, Global Digital Strategy and work closely with Mackay to help oversee Warner Chappell’s commercial digital initiatives around the globe, where Madaj’s focus will officially be extended to cover all of the Americas and Lang will continue to be responsible for EMEIA.
Mackay said, “Digital is a central part of our business and having the best team is critical to expanding our reach into new verticals and maximizing our value. Natalie and Daniel have been instrumental in strengthening our relationships with digital service providers and helping to ensure that our songwriters get paid fairly and quickly. Having hired them both, it’s been incredibly rewarding to see how much they’ve grown over the years, and I’m excited to have them continue to take on more responsibility.” Madaj remarked, “It’s an honor to take on this new role and continue to focus on serving our songwriters and protecting their work. Our No. 1 priority has been to close the best deals possible, so our songwriters can have long-lasting careers — something that’s been particularly important during these unprecedented times. I’m looking forward to working with Eric and Daniel to identify new opportunities for our writers across the globe.”
