Mr. Cerahman comes to Ingrooves from his position as Content Manager at Fizy, a digital platform owned by Turkcell, Turkey’s leading mobile operator. Prior to Fizy he worked as a consultant for a variety of digital services firms, advising radio and other brands on their digital platform strategy.
“I’m excited to be leading Ingrooves Turkey and bringing the company’s innovative distribution and marketing platform to label and artist clients at home as well as expanding opportunities within Turkey for all of Ingrooves’ roster,” said Mr. Cerahman.
He will be working out of Universal Music Group’s offices in Istanbul.
