WMG TAPS TWO
TECH LEADERS

Warner Music Group has tapped Ralph Munsen and Vinnie Freda to lead the company’s technology and data areas. Munsen has been named Chief Information Officer and former Universal Music Group exec Freda is Chief Data Officer; both report to CEO Steve Cooper.

Munsen, whose previous music experience includes stints at EMI and Clear Channel/iHeartMedia, is charged with developing solutions, systems and platforms that serve the creative and commercial needs of WMG’s divisions, artists and business partners. He will lead the company's global technology strategy, infrastructure, and operations.

Freda, most recently President and COO of INgrooves Music Group, will be responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive vision and strategy for data management throughout the company.

“The establishment of these two interdependent senior management posts reflects the importance of providing advanced tech solutions and comprehensive, user-friendly data to our teams across the globe,” Cooper said.
