Leif O. Ribe has today (September 27) been named as the next general manager of Warner Music Norway. An official press release stated that Ribe “will take up the role from January 1 and report to Jonas Siljemark, president, Warner Music Nordics.”
Ribe joins the Warner Music team after working in a number of senior marketing and A&R roles at Sony Music Norway.
Ivar Noer, the CFO of Warner Music Nordics, will continue as acting managing director of Warner Music Norway until Ribe takes up his role.
Speaking about his appointment, Leif O. Ribe said: “It’ll be a huge privilege to lead the amazing team at Warner Music Norway. I’m lucky enough to have worked with some of the most talented artists in Norway and I can’t wait to bring that experience to my new role. And I also want to ensure that Norway is firmly on the map for all the performers on our incredible international roster.”
Jonas Siljemark added: “Leif’s one of the most talented execs in the Norwegian business and I’m delighted he’s agreed to join us at Team Warner. He has an incredible track record in finding and nurturing great talent and he’s going to bring that sense of mission to Warner to help us be in pole position to work with the most interest artists out there.”
Warner Music boasts a roster of local artists including Emilie Nicolas, Fay Wildhagen, Julie Bergan, Kristian Kristensen and Susanne Sundfør.
Last month Mark Fry was appointed to the newly created post of vice president, Warner Music Nordics.
