Universal Music Group has appointed Tseyin Foo as president of global supply chain, reporting to chief operating officer Boyd Muir from Los Angeles. The move is intended to strengthen UMG’s worldwide operational capabilities as it expands its platform and integrates recent acquisitions, with an emphasis on speed, flexibility and technology-enabled execution.

Foo joins from Skechers, where she led global supply chain planning and strategy, and has previously held senior roles at VF Corporation, including at Timberland and Vans. Her remit will include supporting artist and label services following Virgin Music Group’s February acquisition of Downtown, which has already prompted leadership changes and the appointment of former Downtown executives to key Virgin roles.
