Prior to joining Universal Music, Johnson spent six years at Amazon in senior leadership roles across Europe, including overseeing the Books businesses in the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Both Johnson and Jeffrey join The Blair Partnership this spring, with the appointments being made just as the latest on-screen iteration of Rowling’s Harry Potter — the upcoming big-budget HBO series — moves into production.

Rowling.
