Ink Music Changes Leadership

Bettina Schöll will become Austria-based Ink Music’s CEO, while Valentin Geisender will succeed Reinhold Seyfriedsberger as head of its live department. 

Schöll has been with Ink Music since 2013. She’ll take over from former CEO Hannes Tschürtz, who remains with the company as strategic adviser and artist manager. He said about his successor: “She’s the one human being who knows about everything that is happening in this company. She also knows why it is happening and will make sure it continues to happen. She’s reliable, clever and foresighted.”

After eight years with Ink Music, Reinhold Seyfriedsberger started his own concert agency called Spoon. His successor, Valentin Geisender, has been mentoring artists at the company since 2014. He’s been the driving force behind Rock im Dorf festival in Schlierbach, Upper Austria, and worked on the country’s major festivals Frequency and Urban Art Forms.

Tschürtz is sure that Geisender will “not only follow in the footsteps of his predecessor but fill them with new life.” Among other things, Ink Music deals in artist care and development, helps with career planning and books events.

The company also helps develop other festival formats such as the Nordic Music Festival JaJaJa and C’est la Mü.
