Napster Group PLC (AIM:NAPS), a leading music company and operator of the MelodyVR and Napster platforms, is pleased to announce the appointment of Emmy Lovell as Chief Strategy Officer of the Napster Group. This newly created role follows the acquisition of Napster and subsequent formation of the Napster Group.

Across her career she has developed digital promotions for everyone from Kylie Minogue to The Chemical Brothers and lead on campaigns for the major artists including Gorillaz, Deadmau5, Danger Mouse and Tinie Tempah.

Emmy Lovell, Chief Strategy Officer Napster Group said "Innovation and disruption have always been at the core of the Napster offering and as we work towards the relaunch that spirit is more important than ever. Today, we work in a fast-paced and rapidly changing world which requires delivering more for artists and fans. I'm excited to do just that working alongside Anthony and the rest of the team."

Anthony Matchett, CEO and Founder Napster Group said "Emmy's wealth of industry experience is going to be a real asset to Napster.
