Lesley Bleakley Ankles Beggars

BEGGARS CAN BE CHOOSERS: Longtime Beggars Group CEO Lesley Bleakley has resigned her post, and will be replaced by Matt Harmon as President, it was announced by Chairman Martin Mills. Harmon started with the label in 1998 as Head of Sales and, since 2007, has been its GM. Bleakley's decision to step down follows her intended one-year sabbatical in Vietnam. She will stay in that country for family reasons and will continue to work for the company in a number of roles. In related moves, Adam Farrell is upped to VP of Marketing and Adam Carroll to VP of Finance for the Group. Bleakley had worked for the London-based label since 1987, moving to N.Y. in 1995 to launch the company’s stateside office. As CEO, she oversaw North American operations of The Beggars Group, which represents 4AD, XL, Beggars Banquet, Matador and Too Pure. She was instrumental in establishing the independent label trade association A2IM. (6/15a)
