UMG GETS PHYSICAL WITH ZIEGLER

Robert Ziegler has been tapped to oversee the manufacturing and distribution of all of Universal Music Group’s physical products. As Executive Vice President of Global Physical Operations based in Santa Monica, he'll report to Michael Frey, President of Global Operations and Advanced Media Services.

“At Universal Music, we understand that in our digital age, fans still have a strong demand for physical products, which continue to account for a significant amount of music consumption around the world.” Frey said. “With Robert, we’re bringing on board an expert with vast experience at managing a global supply chain and providing important products that our consumers demand.”

Ziegler has spent much of his career at Sony Corp., managing global supply chain, manufacturing, customer service, distribution and transportation management. He was most recently President of Global Platform Services at Sony DADC.

Here’s hoping Bob got our change of address, because we’re jonesing for an Iron Maiden box set.
