Daniel Lang has been promoted to SVP, Global Society Relations and Digital Rights at Warner Chappell Music. He will continue to be based in London and report to Co-Chair/CEO Guy Moot.

The role expands Lang’s remit to include working with U.S. collection societies, as well as continuing to lead on the publisher’s relations with societies around world to help modernize their business practices and ensure Warner Chappell’s writers are paid more quickly and accurately.

Lang will continue to work closely with EVP, Global Digital Natalie Madaj and her team, as well as the publisher’s local territory heads, while also serving as WCM's lead representative in international negotiations with major digital service providers.

“Daniel has done an incredible job of managing digital licensing and society relations over the last few years," said Moot. "It was an experiment to combine these remits and it paid off handsomely. I’m delighted that he’s agreed to take on this expanded global role as I know our writers will continue to benefit from his proactive, collaborative and inventive approach.”

Lang has worked at WCM since 2017 and has held a series of digital licensing roles that strengthened relationships with partners such as Amazon, Deezer, Facebook, Spotify and YouTube. He was appointed VP, International Digital Licensing and Society Relations in 2021.
