Micki Stern has been promoted to Senior Vice President, Clearance and Sync Licensing, at Warner Chappell Music, focusing on WCM’s licensing strategy and finding new opportunities for songwriters.

Stern will continue to report to Rich Robinson, EVP and Global Synchronization Leader, as well as work closely with Pat Woods, SVP of Licensing.

“In less than two years, she’s already accomplished so much and continues to bring invaluable insights on the market, current trends, and the challenges that our clients face,” Robinson said. “I’m very excited to see what she does next in her new role.”

Stern joined Warner Chappell in 2019 as Vice President of Clearance and Sync Licensing after running her own music clearance company, Micki Stern Music Services, for more than a decade. Previously, she held roles at Universal Music, Soundtrack Music Associates and PolyGram Music Publishing.
