Collecting society Sacem is bringing together its licensing, international and operations divisions into one department, led by Cécile Rap-Veber, who’s been promoted to executive director of licensing, international and operations as part of the move.
The new division will gather nearly 300 staff, with Sacem suggesting that the new structure will be more streamlined and efficient. “This new structure will better equip SACEM to provide fair and transparent distribution of royalties and ensure a sustainable future for the creative sector, as the digitalisation of both music and audiovisual content continues to increase,” said CEO Jean-Noël Tronc.
Rap-Veber promised that the move will create “one collaborative team which will deliver an enhanced and streamlined service for our members”.
