Armada Music Group, the parent company of Armada Music, BEAT Music Fund and Armada Music Publishing, has appointed Maarten Steinkamp as interim president.
Steinkamp, who has worked closely with Armada as an interim board consultant for the past several months, will now play an integral part in driving growth and shaping the dance music company’s future. His appointment to the newly formed role is effective immediately.
Steinkamp has extensive international experience across the music and media industries. He has previously held several senior leadership roles, including managing director of BMG Benelux, EVP of BMG ASEAN in Singapore, CEO of BMG Germany in Munich, and president of BMG international in New York, where he was also a member of the global executive board.
He also served as chairman and CEO of London-based Sony BMG Europe.
“Maarten’s leadership, strategic insight, and deep understanding of our industry is second to none,” said Maykel Piron, CEO of Armada Music Group. “With Maarten’s continued support, I’m confident we will unlock new opportunities together and take Armada Music Group to even greater heights.”
Steinkamp’s work will focus primarily on preparing the company for its next phase and ensuring Armada’s back-end departments are equipped to support its continued growth. He will report directly to Piron and is based in the Netherlands.
"I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter with Armada at such an exciting time for the company and our entire industry," Steinkamp said. “I look forward to working alongside this passionate team and building on the incredible work they’re doing in the dance space.”
