Beatles’ Apple Corps Names Tom Greene As New CEO

by

On Tuesday morning, Apple Corps, the media company owned by the Beatles, announced that Tom Greene will serve as their new CEO.

Green is primarily recognized for his involvement with the Harry Potter series, where he initially held executive positions at Pottermore Publishing, later serving as CFO and eventually the general manager of Wizarding World Digital – a collaboration between Warner Media and Pottermore. At present, Green serves as the COO for an esports programming company called Blast, while also maintaining his position on the board at Pottermore.

Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison, and Sean Ono Lennon announced their delight in bringing on Tom Greene as CEO. They have a number of exciting ideas in store, and they believe that Tom’s expertise and vision will be essential in helping them bring these plans to fruition.

Green has recently been appointed to the position he now holds, a development that follows Jeff Jones’ departure from his role as Apple Corps’ top executive in October of last year. Jones had held this position for a remarkable 17 years. The Beatles originally founded Apple Corps way back in 1968, making Green the third CEO in the company’s history, as stated by the company itself.

Apple Corps continues to manage the musical legacy of the Beatles, approving Sam Mendes’ biographical films about each member. These movies will feature Harris Dickinson portraying John Lennon, Barry Keoghan taking on Ringo Starr, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. The release date for these films is anticipated in 2028.

Greene expressed great pride in being at the helm of Apple Corps as it enters a fresh era of its journey,” he stated. “Just like countless others worldwide, my upbringing was filled with The Beatles’ music and their influence. With today’s world possibly needing more of The Beatles’ essence, I see numerous opportunities to share their extraordinary enchantment across all age groups. I am eagerly looking forward to embarking on this exciting journey.
