MANILLA, Philippines (CelebrityAccess) — Warner Music Group announced the promotion of Sarah Ismail to the role of Managing Director of ADA Asia, the regional office of WMG’s independent label and artist services division.

In her new role at ADA, Ismail will report to Chris Gobalakrishna and Jonathan Serbin, Co-Presidents of Warner Music Asia as well as Cat Kreidich, President of ADA, while working closely with other ADA team leaders around the world.

Initially, she will continue to be based in Manilla but will eventually relocate to ADA Asia’s office in Hong Kong, where she will play a role in ADA’s expansion plans in the region.

Ismail first joined Warner in 2019 and was quickly promoted to the role of Regional Marketing Director for Greater China & South East Asia, taking point on operations in the Philippines, where she helped to break artists such as Lola Amour and Dilaw.

“We are delighted to announce Sarah’s well-deserved promotion. Throughout her tenure with Warner Music, Sarah has consistently showcased exceptional management skills and a visionary mindset that truly set her apart. Her advancement not only reaffirms our commitment to independent artists and labels across Asia, but also empowers our incredibly talented team to reach new levels of success,” said Chris Gobalakrishna and Jonathan Serbin.

“I am incredibly honoured to be given this opportunity and humbled by the trust placed in me. I am committed to growing ADA’s presence across Asia. I’m most excited to explore and create compelling offerings to empower our independent artists and partners in their journey. ADA Asia is set to forge new partnerships and continue to champion diverse talents.”

In addition, ADA Asia also announced the addition of Thuan Tran, who has been named label manager in Vietman. Thuan joins ADA after working for Zing MP3, Vietnam’s leading music streaming platform.
