Simone Schinkel Steps Down as Music Victoria CEO
Simone Schinkel, the CEO of Music Victoria, has announced her departure from the organization at the end of the year.
Schinkel, who took the reins during the challenging early days of the pandemic, has overseen an era of substantial growth, spearheaded major advocacy efforts, and secured more than $88 million in direct government funding for the sector. Her white paper, Priorities for the Victorian Music Industry, played a key role in prompting government action on crucial issues, including lifting a long-standing freeze on new late-night liquor licenses. Music Victoria’s Board Chair, Chris O’Neill, lauded Schinkel’s “incredible passion and dedication” and credited her for transforming the organization’s operations and securing essential support for the sector.
