Sony Music Publishing Appoints New Asia President

Sony Music Publishing has appointed a new Asia President.

The appointment of Roslyn Pineda to President, Asia, effective immediately, was confirmed in a press statement this week.

Pineda will succeed longtime Asia President Carol Ng, who will remain with the company until her planned retirement at the end of next month.

According to the press statement, Pineda "will be responsible for overseeing creative and business operations across multiple territories in Asia." She's tasked with "strengthening key relationships with clients and industry partners and expanding global support for SMP songwriters in the region."

Pineda will work out of Hong Kong, reporting directly to Sony Music Publishing President, International, Guy Henderson.

Pineda joins from Sony Music, where she most recently held the position of General Manager, Philippines. Prior to that position, Pineda worked as Vice President, Artist Relations & Business Development, Asia.

“I am thrilled to take on this leadership role at Sony Music Publishing Asia during such an exciting time for our industry and our region," Pineda said. "I look forward to collaborating with our talented team and working closely with Guy Henderson and Jon Platt to empower our songwriters across Asia.

"Together, we will foster a vibrant, energetic environment that prioritises creativity and innovation, ensuring that the voices of our creators are heard and celebrated. Keen to make great things happen!”

On Pineda's appointment, Henderson said, “I am so pleased that Ros will take over the reigns as President for SMP Asia, which is one of our most important and continuously expanding international regions. With Ros’s success in the artist development and creative space, as well as her experience of more than two decades in the music business, she brings a new focus to the region to further expand our business into the future."

On the retirement of Ng, Henderson added, “Carol Ng has led our company in Asia with great distinction and success for many years. During her time, she expanded our business into new territories and established us as the leading publisher across the region. Her contributions have positioned our team for further growth, and we are incredibly grateful for all that he has done for the company."
