Lakey Earns SVP Upgrade @ Kobalt
Rob Christensen, Co-Head of Kobalt Synch & Brand Partnerships, added, “Chris has an amazing knack for simultaneously understanding the needs of our clients and music supervisors alike. Time after time, it leads to getting our clients in front of the most high impact synch opportunities. At the core of it all, he’s a major music fan, and that excitement is infectious working with him every day. I’m thrilled that he’s leading our L.A.-based creative team.”
Lakey commented, “I’m more than excited about this new challenge as we continue to better serve our creators and align with their needs. In my twelve years here at Kobalt, I continue to experience and value the power of the songwriter-publisher relationship. It is not only critical to a songwriter’s career and livelihood but, as important, to their creative expression. I’m thankful to Jeannette Perez and the entire Kobalt family for this opportunity to continue to make Kobalt’s creative synch department a leader within our industry.” Prior to joining Kobalt in 2008, Lakey spent eight years with Universal Music Publishing Group.
