Former Top BMG Execs Start New Rights Company in Germany

Former BMG execs Dominique Casimir, Maximilian Kolb and Justus Haerder have formed umn, a new rights company based in Berlin, Germany.

Over the course of this year, under new CEO Thomas Coesfeld, BMG lost several top executives amid a reorganization that will bring the company back to its core business of acquiring and managing recording and publishing rights. Casimir was BMG’s chief content officer, Kolb was the company’s executive vp of repertoire & marketing for Continental Europe, and Haerder was one of the financial dealmakers. “As umn Entertainment makes its entry into the music world, we couldn’t be more proud than starting our journey by joining forces with Max Giesinger and his team,” the company said in a press release.
