Gillham Named COO, Concord Label Group
• Concord has promoted Fred Gillham to the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer, Concord Label Group. As COO, Gillham is directly responsible for Concord’s unrivaled label services teams and serves as an integral part of the group’s senior executive team, reporting to Tom Becci, Chief Executive, Concord Label Group.
Gillham’s team serves as an extension of Concord’s labels (Concord Records, Easy Eye Sound, Fearless Records, Loma Vista Recordings, PULSE Records, Rounder Records, Concord Theatricals Recordings, and Craft Recordings, as well as the KIDZ BOP brand) to provide the reach that enables the labels to maintain global responsibility for their release campaigns.
Becci remarked, “Fred has the uncommon ability to understand and anticipate the needs of the artists he serves and develop the necessary plans and systems to help them achieve their goals. This ability, combined with his talent for building great teams, makes him perfectly suited for this new role.”
Gillham joined Concord in 2019 as Managing Director of the UK, opening Concord’s first UK Label Group office. Gillham previously spent over a decade at Universal Music Group as VP, International.
Gillham, who will be based in Concord’s Los Angeles office, commented, “It’s been an incredible journey since joining Concord in 2019. We have successfully proved the concept of our global approach to marketing and I’m excited to push that even further in this new role. Our setup and approach are totally unique in the market, and the mission is to use that to be even more competitive, both in scaling up our frontline business, and continuing to develop our already best-in-class approach to catalogue marketing. I must thank Tom for this incredible opportunity. I’m very excited about the future of Concord Label Group.” [Photo Credit: Derek Bremner]
