Pierrot Raschdorff appointed Senior Director of Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at BMG

BMG has appointed Pierrot Raschdorff to drive the company’s diversity strategy.

As Senior Director of Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Raschdorff from Berlin will report directly to Dominique Casimir, BMG’s Chief Content Officer.

As an expert in diversity and corporate responsibility, BMG says Raschdorff will now be responsible for advancing and accelerating the company’s global DE&I goals, working closely with BMG’s international teams across its 12 core music markets.

Pierrot Raschdorff comes from the German book publishing giant Penguin Random House, which, like BMG, belongs to Bertelsmann.

According to BMG, with his book (Black. Rot. We.), Raschdorff makes “a plea for diversity and emphasizes the importance of diverse role models for finding self-identity”.

Raschdorff is a graduate political scientist and a certified mediator.

Dominique Casimir said: “At BMG we celebrate the power of diversity and recognize our responsibility to make a difference and contribute.”

“Pierrot will play a key role in advancing and accelerating BMG’s diversity and inclusion strategies. I am happy to have him on board.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to join BMG. Music has the universal and emotional ability to connect people, more than that, it builds communities and encourages a belief in one’s own diversity.”
