PRS for Music<\/a><\/strong> (the UK performing right society) has named Ben McOwen Wilson<\/strong> as its next chief executive, effective 12 October. He succeeds Andrea Czapary Martin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

McOwen Wilson joins from YouTube<\/a><\/strong> and Google Play<\/strong>, where he led operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). His earlier career includes launching digital platforms for UEFA<\/a><\/strong> and chairing the UK broadcasters’ video-on-demand initiative Project Kangaroo<\/strong>. He has also contributed to the Creative Industries Council<\/strong> and the Creative Industries Federation<\/strong>, focusing on intellectual property, innovation and growth.<\/p>\n

PRS for Music said his experience building partnerships across complex digital ecosystems, combined with work alongside rights holders, broadcasters, creators and policymakers, positions him to guide the organisation as AI<\/a>, gaming, digital platforms and new music consumption models reshape the industry.<\/p>\n

In a statement, McOwen Wilson said:<\/p>\n

“PRS for Music is built on trust, transparency, and a relentless commitment to its members. It is a privilege to lead this organization at a time when the voice of the creator must be louder than ever<\/a>. In the age of AI and accelerated digital distribution, protecting the integrity and value of human creativity<\/a> is our most urgent priority. My focus will be on ensuring PRS serves as a catalyst for our members’ success, ensuring they remain at the centre of a sustainable and growing global music ecosystem.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PRS for Music appoints Ben McOwen Wilson, previously of YouTube and Google Play, as its new chief executive, effective 12 October.","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":8745,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[513],"tags":[2917,768,617,2916,894,164],"class_list":["post-8744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-careers-people","tag-ben-mcowen-wilson","tag-executive-appointment","tag-music-publishing","tag-prs-for-music","tag-uk-music-industry","tag-youtube","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nBen McOwen Wilson Named PRS for Music CEO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ben McOwen Wilson has been named CEO of PRS for Music, effective 12 October.
