I am delighted to announce Linda Yaccarino as Chair of YMU Group - I have been seeking the appointment of a Chair since her predecessor’s departure last year and wanted someone of exceptional calibre for the role. I knew instantly I had found that person when I met Linda. Her unparalleled influence, acumen and reputation are renowned. I am incredibly excited about the work that we will do together to keep driving YMU forward as the leading, global business partner for premium talent. Linda’s appointment shows the scale of ambition for the Group - her value, knowledge and expertise will enable us to deliver an even better service to our clients and turbo charge our international growth. 

We all know great talent when we see it. Whether it’s on stage, on the field, in front of and behind the camera, on every platform—you name it—epic performances stick with us. And for decades, I’ve supported top talent by growing global brands alongside premium content.  The Group represents some of the most exciting, elite level talent in the global culture space who are supported by an unparalleled, industry leading team of global experts. I’m looking forward to working with Mary and the exceptional YMU team to support their continued growth of individual’s brands on a global scale.
