Speaking about the appointment, Jitze De Raaff, MD at CTM Entertainment, said: “I’m very happy that Bo is joining our team. During the past 6 years at Waner Music he had the chance to learn a lot, resulting in many successes. I’m sure Bo will be leading CTM Music fantastically and it is really great to start this adventure together with my brother.”
Bo De Raaff added: “I experienced six wonderful years at Warner Music Holland, led by Martin Jesserun, where I was given trust and freedom to expand the local Warner division further, according to our mutual strategy. However, now it is time to pursue a new step in my career and I am very much looking forward to that. CTM is a wonderful company and I’m very proud to start leading their music division!”
