Johannes von Schwarzkopf, chief strategy officer, BMG, said: “Tim brings a strong track record of building high-performing teams and driving impactful music-for-media partnerships. As we scale Sync+, our focus is on a more innovative, technology-enabled service – combining global scale with advanced capabilities in data, product, and AI to better connect music to opportunity. With a strong global leadership team, consisting of Allegra Willis Knerr, Amberly Crouse-Knox, Scott Doran and Caspar Kedros, in place, Tim will help drive the next phase of growth.”
Tim Miles said: “The opportunity with Sync+ is clear – a unified rights platform, a world-class catalogue, and a structure designed around our customers, from global studios to emerging digital platforms. The next phase is about being faster, smarter and more connected – through better product, sharper processes and a more integrated global approach. With GenAI and other technologies playing an increasing role in how music is discovered and licensed, there is real competitive advantage available to those who move decisively.”

It combines BMG’s repertoire of more than three million songs and recordings, over 200,000 exclusive production music tracks and a range of creative services, ranging from consultancy and sonic branding to talent partnerships and original composition.
