SAMRO appoints new CEO

Mark Rosin has been appointed as the new Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO)

Chief Executive Officer (CEO).Mr Rosin, who holds an LLB specialising in corporate, media and

entertainment law from the University of the Witwatersrand will assume his duties at the beginning

of February.

Rosin’s career in media and entertainment spans more than three decades, during which he has

represented South African and international music industry clients in litigation and commercial

matters. As an attorney he represented music publishers, composers, recording artists, recording

companies, live concert promoters and visiting international artists.

“Mark Rosin’s appointment comes at a time when the organisation has set up stringent performance

targets which include diversifying income streams, increasing revenue, delivering real meaningful

value for the SAMRO members and organisational costs reduction, all of which will be key focus

areas for Rosin”, said Board Chairperson, Nicholas Maweni.

large.

for her immense contribution and wish her all the best with her future endeavours.
