  "account": "Warner Music Group has announced that Carianne Marshall, the COO and co-chair of publishing arm Warner Chappell, will be leaving her position at the end of September as the company streamlines its leadership structure. This follows a similar move in July when the company moved Tom Corson, formerly the co-chair and COO of Warner Records, to a different role. Marshall has been with Warner Chappell for seven years, joining the company in June 2018 after a successful tenure at independent music publisher SONGS. Known for her expertise in synchronization licensing and her indie mindset, Marshall has played a crucial role in shaping Warner Chappell's direction. Under her leadership, the company created a new Creative Services department focused on providing unique commercial and creative opportunities for Warner Chappell writers. Marshall and her co-chair, Guy Moot, were praised for their formidable leadership and commitment to fostering a songwriter-first culture. In a joint statement, Marshall and Moot expressed gratitude for their time at Warner Chappell and their appreciation for the company's success.",
