Jeremy Sirota to Step Down as Merlin CEO


Jeremy Sirota will leave Merlin at the end of the year, the licensing organization announced on Tuesday.

Sirota has served as CEO since 2020, guiding Merlin as it steers digital music licensing for independent labels and distributors. In a statement, Darius Van Arman, who is both chairperson of Merlin and co-founder/co-owner of Secretly Group, called Sirota “an extraordinary CEO” who brought “great focus, tremendous energy and brilliant thinking to one of the most important and challenging roles within the independent community.” That experience “gave me the ability to relate to people at different levels in the business, whether it’s a product manager at a digital platform, or an engineer who’s now a founder of a startup, or it’s a member who runs a metal label,” he told Billboard last year.
