Linda Bloss-Baum as vp of government relations and public affairs. She will report to Esther-Mireya Tejeda, chief marketing and communications officer of the company.
An industry veteran, Bloss-Baum previously held roles at Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group/NBCUniversal and Time Warner Inc. In her new role, she will lead the public affairs department, driving a strategy centered on industry-shaping advocacy efforts to support fair treatment of music creators in the digital age.
