ANDRE DE RAAFF

ANDRÉ DE RAAFF

CEO & Co-Founder, Imagem Music Group (Holland)

In 2004 André de Raaff joined forces with film producer Denis Wigman and entertainment lawyer Bob Hubar to found CTM Entertainment BV. In late 2007 the music publishing division (formerly CP Masters), CTM Publishing, started a co-venture with Dutch pension fund APG (the third largest pension fund in the world, managing more than €350 billion), creating Imagem Music CV to buy music publishing rights. The first acquisitions were the Rondor UK, Zomba UK and 19 Music companies and the BBC Music catalogue. In April 2008 Imagem Music bought the No.1 classical music publishing group Boosey & Hawkes and a year later acquired The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, making it the world's leading independent music publisher.

Andre started his career as Creative Manager at the Dutch division of Time-Warner, Warner-Basart, rising to Managing Director within seven years. Throughout the '90s he was President/CEO of the largest independent European record and publishing company, Arcade. At the end of 1999 Andre merged the Arcade publishing companies with major Dutch independent music publishing company Strengholt, resulting in one of the biggest independent publishing houses in Europe.
