UMPG has appointed Adriana Ramos managing director of UMPG Brazil. She’ll report to President Latin America & U.S. Latin Alexandra Lioutikoff from the Rio de Janeiro offices. Ramos replaces former Brazil MD Marcelo Falcao.

Ramos joined UMPG in 2013 and most recently served as head of UMPG Brazil’s creative team, A&R and sync. Before her tenue at UMPG, she held positions at Deck, Warner and Brazilian sales and distribution company Microservice.

“With tremendous vision and dedication, Adriana has been instrumental to the success of UMPG Brazil and her promotion is much deserved,” Lioutikoff said. “As we look to the future, I am confident that Adriana will bring enormous value and energy to UMPG Brazil, both furthering our creative strategy and continuing to ensure that our songwriters are treated with the best care in the world.”

Lioutikoff also thanked Falcao for his years of service, praising his contributions to UMPG Brazil’s success.

She went on to say, “It is also a historical moment and I’m very proud to extend UMPG female leadership to Brazil.”

Ramos added, "I would like to thank Jody Gerson and Alexandra for their trust and support in giving me this opportunity that I take with honor, respect and commitment to always keep our songwriters first.”
