Universal Music Group (UMG) unveiled the series of appointments this morning, in a formal release shared with Digital Music News. The Vivendi-owned company's latest move to bolster its reach in Africa arrives just seven months after the debut of Def Jam Africa (and about one month following the arrival of 0207 Def Jam ). Additionally, UMG in June of last year opened offices in Casablanca, Morocco, as well as Tel Aviv, Israel.
