In his new role, he will jointly oversee BMGPM with EVP & Global Managing Director John Clifford with a focus on the division’s finance, operations, and systems.
Pounder will jointly report to BMG COO Ben Katovsky and John Clifford, while Clifford continues to report to BMG CFO Maximilian Dressendoerfer who oversees the operation.
