Matthew Capper

“He was above all else, in every interaction, a gentleman," writes Dan Rosen in an internal message on late former colleague Matthew Capper.

As news of Capper's death spreads throughout the industry, the late exec is remembered as man of integrity, a great colleague and a nice guy.

On his election to the APRA board in 2007, he became the youngest director of the authors’ rights society, aged 30 – a record that stands.

News of Capper’s exit from WC is a shock, coming down in a week that WMG reported best-ever quarterly revenue.
