Spotify’s Head of Global Music Jeremy Erlich is exiting the company after joining up back in 2019 following a stint at Interscope Records.
Jeremy Erlich will be leaving his position as Spotify’s Head of Global Music after five years, having joined the music streaming company back in 2019. Formerly, he was Executive VP, Business Development at Interscope Records.
Erlich will remain at the company in an advisory role through the end of February, sources confirm, after which he will depart to begin an entrepreneurial endeavor that is yet to be announced.
During his five-plus years at Spotify, Erlich was well-liked and known throughout the industry for building strong teams and solidifying operations while enhancing relationships with the worldwide business. Spotify more than doubled in size during his tenure.
Global Head of Editorial Sulinna Ong, Global Head of Music Partnerships & Audience Joe Hadley, and Global Head of Music Go-to-Market Madeleine Bennett — all of whom reported directly to Erlich — will report to VP Music and Audiobook Business David Kaefer.
Erlich confirmed the news with an email sent to staff as a final entry in his regular email series:
“In the past few months, I’ve been reflecting on what we’ve achieved as a team and as a company and the challenges that lay ahead,” wrote Erlich. “Through this reflection, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to turn a page on this chapter after 5.5 incredible years.”
“As I thought about the future, I found myself more and more excited about embarking on my own entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a goal of mine for a long time and now feels like the right time to pursue it,” he continues. “This was a very difficult decision but, as I’ve said many times before, you are the best team in the industry and I know you’ll be in good hands going forward.”
“While change can feel hard, I’m confident that this will only result in great things for the team and I’ll be here to help you all navigate through it,” Erlich concluded, thanking his team and expressing his gratitude.
More news about Jeremy Erlich’s entrepreneurial endeavors will be revealed in the coming weeks.
