SCHLOGEL BOARDS HIPGNOSIS

Atwater Capital founder and managing partner Vania Schlogel has been named an independent non-executive director of Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited.

The former chief investment officer of Roc Nation, Schlogel founded Atwater Capital in 2017 and invests across the media and entertainment sector with a focus on companies that foster cultural diversity, working with management teams committed to embracing strong ESG (environmental, social and governance) practices.

“Vania has a wealth of both private and public market experience and intimate knowledge of the music business at the highest levels,” said Merck Mercuriadis, founder of The Family (Music) Limited and Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited.

"The work of our board, led by chair Andrew Sutch and including Paul Burger, Sylvia Coleman, Simon Holden and Andrew Wilkinson, has been an important part of our success. I am certain that Vania will complement this work perfectly and make very valuable contributions.”
