I am excited to work alongside the team to build on this strong foundation, with a clear ambition to deepen partnerships and enhance digital experiences, creating even more value for artists, partners, and fans.”
Schueremans said the appointment would add further management expertise to the Belgian operation.
“What we have built over the past years is the result of the dedication, passion, and hard work of an outstanding team. By welcoming Jean Jacques, we are adding valuable expertise, and I look forward to working alongside him and our management team.”
