Warner Music Canada Lays Off at Least 24 People Amidst Global Restructuring

The major record label has eliminated positions across the company, including marketing, A&R, catalogue and more. The cuts follow the departure of president Kristen Burke and reportedly came on the same day as the announcement of Julia Hummel and Madelaine Napoleone as co-general managers.

Warner Music Canada has laid off at least 24 people, Billboard Canada has learned. The cuts come amidst global restructuring and layoffs at Warner Music Group.

According to multiple former staffers, the layoffs came on Nov. 18, the same day Julia Hummel and Madelaine Napoleone were announced as new Warner Music Canada co-general managers.
