Last week, for instance, Warner Music Group CEO Robert Kyncl, who officially started leading the major label at February's start, announced plans to trim 270 positions. Simultaneously, Warner Music UK detailed an extensive collection of hires (Isabel Garvey is now COO), departures (Parlophone co-presidents Nick Burgess and Mark Mitchell as well as general manager Jack Melhuish exited the label), and promotions (Claire Coster became a publicity director for all of Warner Music UK).
