A pair of once-familiar names we hadn’t heard in recent months popped up this morning, as Pandora announced that Tim Leiweke has been elected to the company's board of directors, while Roger Faxon has been nominated for election.
"I could not be more excited for Roger and Tim to join the board,” Pandora Chairman/CEO Brian McAndrews trumpeted. “Both are forward-thinking and bring invaluable expertise to help Pandora play a leading role in the evolution of the music industry. Roger's deep knowledge of the music business and Tim's experience in entertainment will provide unique insights as we continue to deliver music our listeners love and new tools to help music makers thrive."
Leiweke, you’ll recall, was the longtime CEO of AEG; he’s now CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. Faxon was most recently CEO the EMI Group, where he spent 18 years.
