Warner Music Nashville COO Matt Signore will be leaving the company at the end of December. A WMG family for 15 years, he was President of WEA prior to moving to the Nashville operation four years ago.
In a memo to staff, WMG Nashville Chairman and CEO John Esposito wrote “Matt has helped us reorganize the company and has been a key player in a new era of success. As with every post he’s had throughout his career, Matt is leaving us in better shape than he found us.
“I’ve had the great fortune of counting Matt as a trusted friend and colleague for over 25 years, going back to our days together at PolyGram and IDJ. Besides being one of the greatest execs in our business, Matt is one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever known. A generous and open soul, he’s a mentor and confidante to a generation of people trying to navigate their way through this crazy life. Matt’s dedication and expertise have also been felt by the wider industry, including serving as Board Chairman of Music Biz and being a passionate supporter and Board Director of Porter’s Call, the Nashville-based artists’ counseling service.”
Signore with assist with the transition to a new COO and will oversee the renovation of WMG’s Music Row building.
