CISAC Elects APRA AMCOS CEO Dean Ormston as New Chair

CISAC, the international trade organization for copyright collecting societies, has a new Chair, with APRA AMCOS CEO Dean Ormston taking on the role.

Announced on Thursday (May 29), Ormston is only the second Australian to hold the title in CISAC’s 99-year history, with his APRA AMCOS predecessor Brett Cottle having previously served in the role from 2006 until 2010. Founded in France in 1926, CISAC has been presided over by Swedish singer, songwriter, and ABBA co-founder Björn Ulvaeus since 2020, taking over from French composer Jean Michel Jarre after he had spent a seven-year stint in the top job. “I look forward to working with the new Board and the entire CISAC community to champion creators’ rights, further develop our services, and empower societies and their members to lead in this rapidly changing global market.”
