Background:
Warner Music Group (WMG) has recently made numerous changes to leadership, including the exit of 30-year veteran Simon Robson.
What they said:
WMG CEO Robert Kyncl, in a 2025 memo to staff announcing $170 million in staff cuts: “Many changes will be implemented in the next three months, with the remainder in fiscal 2026. In an ever-changing industry, we must continue to supercharge our capabilities in long-term artist, songwriter, and catalog development. That’s why this company was created in the first place, it’s what we’ve always been best at, and it’s how we’ll differentiate ourselves in the future.”
