Executive Action, BMI-Style
• Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) announced two key promotions within the company’s Distribution, Publisher Relations & Administration Services department: Shouvik Das (left) has been elevated to Senior Vice President, Distribution, Publisher Relations & Administration Services, and Misha Hunke (right) has been promoted to Vice President, Administration & Publisher Relations.
These new roles will streamline the reporting structure of the Distribution & Administration departments, which previously reported as separate entities to Alison Smith, EVP, Distribution, Publisher Relations & Administration Services. Both departments will now function under the leadership of Das, who will continue to report to Smith, with Hunke now reporting directly to Das.
“Shouvik and Misha consistently go above and beyond to serve our songwriters, composers and music publishers,” said Smith. “In the past year alone, they’ve overseen multiple initiatives including processing nearly two trillion performances, launching phase one of Songview and the early distribution of royalty payments to BMI’s affiliates during the first two quarters of the pandemic.” Smith added, “This new reporting structure will help the department function even more seamlessly, and I look forward to working with Shouvik and Misha in their new roles and seeing the team thrive under their leadership.”
Das joined BMI in 2003 and was most recently Vice President, Distribution & Administration Services. Hunke joined BMI in 1987 in the Writer/Publisher Relations department and has been a member of the Distribution and Administration Services department’s client service team since 1995. She was most recently Asst. Vice President, Distribution & Administration Services. [Photo Credit: Erika Goldring]
