Block will serve as the new CEO, while Pascucci will be executive chairman focused on strategy and development.
Block was encouraged to take on the role after Pascucci, whom Block calls “the mastermind behind the acquisition,” told him their first order of business

That answer resonated with Block, who was most recently global head of catalog music at Amazon Music,
but is best known for his 25-year tenure at Sony Music Entertainment where he rose to president of catalog division Legacy Recordings.
Under his guidance, Legacy amplified the prestige of icons such as Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, A Tribe Called Quest, and others.
