We're excited to announce the appointment of Silvia Montello as AIM's new CEO. She replaces Paul Pacifico in leading AIM's overarching operations and strategy, as it continues to support the UK's growing independent music sector, which now comprises 29% of the market. Montello joins from a role as CEO of the Association for Electronic Music (AFEM), and has held previous senior positions at Universal Music Group, BMG and AWAL, as well as fast-growing startup Blòkur. She also founded music and marketing consultancy Voicebox Consulting in 2011, which works with charities, non-profits and SMEs. Montello is a passionate campaigner for diversity, equity and inclusion, co-founding #remarQabl, an electronic music-focused label services and publishing company supporting new talent from under-represented backgrounds. She is also committed to educating the music industry about neurodiverse conditions and how best to work with neurodiverse talent. She is a Trustee of Help Musicians charity and Chair of Trustees for Music Minds Matter, Help Musicians' dedicated mental health service for the whole UK music community. She also sits on the Advisory Board for Moving The Needle (UK), an educational platform supporting women in the record industry. An AIM member for several years, Montello is currently part of AIM's Small Labels Committee, and has previously sat on its Distribution Group which advised on the Digital Distribution Switch Code initiative led by AIM COO Gee Davy.
