GOING TO THE WELLS

Revelator, a cloud-based data-intelligence platform out of Israel, has added Rob Wells and Tom Ryan to its advisory board. Wells, you’ll no doubt recall, was until three months ago President of Global Digital Business at UMG and an advocate of free, ad-supported streaming. Ryan (pictured at right) was formerly SVP of Digital Strategy and Development at EMI.

“Over the years, I’ve watched the digital music business evolve considerably and have been fortunate enough to have a hand in shaping it,” said Wells, in his first public statement since leaving Universal. “Now, I look forward to impacting the business again with Revelator. Data is the name of the game, and we’ll be focusing all our energies into making it affordable and advantageous for all artists, labels and other music companies to have this information accessible and easy to understand.”

Also on the Revelator advisory board is one Chris Blackwell.
