Fran Nevrkla to step down as CEO of PPL
Fran Nevrkla, head of music collection bodies PPL and VPL, is stepping down as chief executive at the end of this year but will remain chairman.
Nevrkla will hand over the chief executive role to Peter Leathem, who will take up the post on January 1, 2012. He has become managing director of PPL and its music video arm VPL in the meantime.
Nevrkla was appointed to his current position in 2000. He commented: “Much has been achieved over the last 10 years but yet more has to be done and strived for and Peter’s appointment will provide the necessary degree of stability and continuity to the organisation which is so important to ensure further successes and achievements in the future.”
Leathem joined PPL as head of legal and business affairs in 2002 and was appointed executive director in 2008. Prior to joining PPL, he was a partner in city law firm GSC Solicitors.
