Spotify’s Chief Content Officer, Stefan Blom, will be leaving the company. This follows events for the company such as signing with Warner Music to become a public traded company, a court denying the company a legal motion, and a publishing company suing the company.
Blom has been the title of Chief Content Officer for three years, while a year before in 2014, he also served as Chief Strategy Officer. Through his time, he has done many things for the company such as renewing the licensing deals the company needs to release music for three major music labels in 2017.
There was no reason given for the departure of Blom, but his departure comes as Spotify gets ready for public listing for which the paper works were dealt with in December. According to Billboard, Spotify released a statement saying “We are grateful for Stefan’s many contributions to the company over the years and we wish the very best. Looking ahead, the content team is well positioned to execute on our strategy.”
