Oliver Winstone appointed Head of Channels at ABRSM
ABRSM has appointed Oliver Winstone as its new Head of Channels, following a career of almost 16 years with Hal Leonard.
Announcing the appointment, Winstone said that developments in the ways people discover, learn and engage with music were creating new opportunities to extend access and impact.
‘It’s a privilege to be joining an organisation whose mission, values and commitment to music education are evident in everything it does,’ he said. ‘I’m looking forward to getting stuck in and working alongside such a talented team.’
Winstone joins ABRSM from Hal Leonard, where he most recently led global business development for the company’s print publishing activities.
He began his career with the business in a part-time role at a specialist music shop in London’s Denmark Street. He subsequently managed the shop, led sales for Musicroom.com and oversaw European education sales and marketing strategy before moving into global business development.
His new position at ABRSM will draw on experience spanning music publishing, education, retail, commercial strategy and partnership development.
