Moore Stepping Down As IFPI CEO
As IFPI’s longest-serving leader, Moore has served as CEO since 2010 and has lead the organization through a historically dynamic and challenging period of change and growth. Moore joined IFPI in 1994 as Regional Director for Europe, following many years representing American and European companies in the retail and electronics sector.
In a statement, the IFPI Main Board said, “We thank Frances for all of her many accomplishments navigating IFPI through arguably the most demanding and complex period of modern music’s history. At once, she has led us through music’s digital transition and the industry’s expansion worldwide, enabling a return to growth that mutually benefits artists, labels and the broader music ecosystem. Not only has she herself been an excellent and effective advocate for labels and creators, but Frances has built an incredible team of professionals to assure that her legacy will carry on.”
Moore has agreed to remain with IFPI through the end of the year to assure a seamless transition and help in the global search for her successor.
• IFPI and its National Group network represent some 8,000 members, including record labels of all types and sizes from 70 countries around the world.
