Rob Stringer will indeed, as has been hinted here, take over as CEO of Sony Music in 2017, the company has announced. The current Columbia Chairman will report to Sony Corporation chief Michael Lynton in the new post, which he is slated to assume in April, succeeding the venerable Doug Morris.
Rumors of Stringer’s elevation have circulated for some time.
Look for Sony Music EVP/CFO Kevin Kelleher to be elevated as well. Meanwhile, who will move to the top position at Columbia when Stringer moves upstairs? Stay tuned for details.
Stringer's Columbia took the #1 spot in our recent rundown of SPS marketshare. His megastar Adele was recently awarded the ultra-rare Diamond Award; she and labelmate Beyoncé are considered top contenders for Grammy glory.
