The top-level management at Sony BMG (aka Sony Music) in Munich is going to shift at the beginning of 2009. Willy Ehmann, currently senior VP of the music division, will shift to a new position as Senior VP domestic, which entails responsibility for all domestic labels. This also includes Gun Records, a wholly owned subsidiary specializing in hard rock. Ehmann will also be in charge of establishing Sony BMG’s own music publishing operation.
Stefan Goebel, previously VP international at Sony BMG, will be appointed to the position of senior VP international and join the Sony BMG management team. Both Ehmann and Goebel report to Edgar Berger, CEO of Sony BMG Germany.
“I am pleased that Stefan Goebel will be enriching our management team as he is very familiar with international repertoire and will also generate further impetus in the international division”, says Edgar Berger.
