BMG has confirmed last week’s report that its growing operation in China is being bolstered with the appointment of Kenney Shiu.
Shiu joins the company as Director of Finance & A&R at BMG China. The exec was previously Managing Director of Peermusic’s Hong Kong operation.
Prior to this, Shiu was part of the finance team at Rock Music Publishing (HK) Ltd, before spending four years as Accounting Manager at Warner Music Hong Kong. He moved to Peermusic in 2006 as General Manager of Asia Pacific.
Based mainly in Hong Kong, Shiu will report directly to BMG China CIO Dora Yi, and will oversee business expansion in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He will also take responsible for finance at BMG China.
Dora Yi said: “Building scale in the Chinese market is a strategic priority for BMG and we are delighted to welcome Kenney and his significant market knowledge and experience to the team.”
Kenney Shiu: “It is an honor to join BMG at this interesting and critical time for the development of the music market in Greater China. With the strong and successful backing of the Bertelsmann group, BMG has a real competitive edge in the Greater China market and I look forward to working with Dora and the team to develop it further.”Music Business Worldwide
