Pablo Rodríguez has been appointed managing director of BMG Spain and Portugal. He will be responsible for growing local repertoire in music publishing and recordings.

Rodríguez joins BMG from Warner Music Spain, where he has been working in an A&R role alongside lecturing as a professor at the University of Valencia in its Masters program in the Music Industry.

He will report to BMG EVP continental Europe Fred Casimir and will lead a team of eight based in Madrid.

Casimir said: “We believe there is substantial potential for growth for BMG in Spain and Portugal, particularly with local repertoire. With his strong background in both publishing and records, Pablo is well qualified to run our distinctive integrated publishing and recordings business. He combines a clear vision of how to bring our Spanish repertoire to the next level, with a strong appreciation of BMG’s core values.”
