MMF chair Paul Craig added: “I am delighted to welcome Niamh, Stephen, and Clare. As with Jill and Sammy, these are three extraordinarily respected and entrepreneurial individuals with extensive experience across the global music business. It is so important that we continue to incorporate fresh and challenging voices into our organization and ensure that the MMF board properly reflects the diversity of our membership. I would also like to thank Merck, Rebekah, and Liza for all their valued contributions, particularly during the last couple of years and hope they stay actively involved. Finally, thank you to the remarkable Dre London for joining us today and for his compelling and inspirational interview.”
