Lidia Kim is Senior Vice President of Digital Business and Legal Affairs, at the independent music publisher, Concord Music Publishing. Lidia currently looks after the global digital music publishing matters for Concord, including partnership development, licensing, and legal affairs. In this role, she leads the related business initiatives for Concord, leveraging her legal training and experience in copyright law and the music publishing business to form strategy and corporate policy in support of expanding digital revenue streams and improving operational efficiency. Lidia started out in music publishing in 2014 as an in-house lawyer for Imagem, including the classical music publisher, Boosey & Hawkes. Over time, she has worked on songwriter and catalog acquisition deals, joint venture partnerships, licensing, and corporate governance matters. She has also supported various corporate transitions, playing a key role in the merging of Imagem’s global, full-service publishing business with Concord Bicycle, an acquisition which nearly tripled the catalog of owned or administered works, and helping guide Concord Music Publishing’s transformation into a leading independent publisher representing songwriters and composers of over 1 million copyrighted musical works. Lidia serves on the board of The Mechanical Licensing Collective. She is an alumna of NYU and Notre Dame Law School.
