Kinga Siennicka has been promoted to managing director at Warner Music Poland.
Based in Warsaw, Siennicka will report to Alfonso Perez-Soto, Warner Music’s EVP, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Siennicka has been promoted from her previous role as vice chair of marketing and promotion, Warner Music Eastern Europe. The executive started out in music at independent label Kompania Muzyczna Pomaton, which was acquired by EMI in 1995.
While at EMI, Siennicka became VP, marketing for Central and Eastern Europe and promotion director for Poland.
Siennicka said: “Taking up the leadership of our company in Poland is a real privilege. We’ve got a creative and dynamic local music scene and we’re an increasingly important market for international acts too. We can make more of a global impact for our domestic talent while building deeper connections between our overseas artists and their Polish fans.”
