TCAT makes two senior appointments in new roles to drive

strategy implementation and growth

 

Software platform TCAT Ltd ("TCAT"), a leading innovator in music copyright
protection and rights management which is a subsidiary of One Media (AIM:
OMIP), announces the appointment of two senior executives to its leadership
team in the newly created positions of Head of Sales and Head of Marketing.

 

Harry Lawrence takes up the position of Head of Sales at TCAT, bringing 10
years of experience in business development, partnerships and sales. Harry
joins from Lickd Ltd, the commercial music licensing platform for social
creators and the metaverse, where he was Music Licensing and Label
Partnerships Manager, responsible for fostering partnerships which resulted in
an expansion of Lickd's commercial music track offering and collaborations
with over 10,000 rightsholders. Prior to Lickd, Harry was New Business and
Digital Licensing Assistant at Universal Music Publishing Group.

 

Donna Kei joins as the new Head of Marketing. With a career spanning over 10
years in the technology, music, and entertainment sectors, Donna's most recent
role was Lead of Marketing Music EMEA at Netflix and she previously worked at
Universal Music Publishing Group, with a focus on licensing and strategic
partnerships. She brings to TCAT expertise in music rights marketing,
strategic partnerships and music licensing, as well as sales experience which
will underpin the  development and implementation of a goals-oriented
marketing strategy for the software product suite.

 

The new appointments will report into TCAT CEO, Nick Stewart, and will
collaborate closely to devise and execute effective, complementary sales and
marketing campaigns to expand TCAT's client and partnership base with the aim
of enhancing its global presence, promoting its innovative solutions among a
diverse audience and, ultimately, driving growth.

 

Nick Stewart, CEO of TCAT, said: "Harry and Donna's combined expertise and
proven track records will be invaluable to TCAT as we continue on our mission
of empowering music protection on a global scale. Their addition to the senior
leadership team significantly bolsters our ongoing commitment to delivering
cutting-edge technological solutions to our existing and new clients."

 

Michael Infante, CEO of One Media, said: "It is a testament to the impact that
TCAT has had on the music industry, as well as the strength of its potential,
that the business is attracting senior talent like Donna and Harry. We have a
clear set of objectives for the business, underpinned by a strong pipeline of
products and potential revenue opportunities, which the addition of these
important new appointments will support the achievement of."
