THE MARKETEER:
SIR LUCIAN GRAINGE

2021 was truly Sir Lucian Grainge’s year, as he shepherded his market-leading UMG through a triumphant IPO that saw its valuation skyrocket. Indeed, about a decade into his reign and after countless strategic moves, his faith in the future of the business (as boosted by the streaming windfall and other developments) has been amply rewarded. Though appearing in this valueless publication is probably an offering he’d like to withdraw.
