SANTA MONICA, July 23, 2026 – Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, today announced that Tseyin Foo has been appointed President, Global Supply Chain, reporting to Boyd Muir, Chief Operating Officer, and based in Los Angeles.
Foo will lead UMG’s global supply chain, strengthening the capabilities that underpin the company’s worldwide business across its ecosystem of digital partnerships and direct to consumer destinations, as well as physical formats, merchandise and other consumer products. She will help enable the company to better serve its artists, songwriters, labels, and partners, while supporting the continued expansion of its artist and label services business following Virgin Music Group’s acquisition of Downtown and the ongoing evolution of UMG’s merchandise and direct to consumer capabilities.

Prior to that, she spent five years at Nike in leadership roles helping to transform strategic sourcing and supply planning. Earlier in her career, she held senior positions at VF Corporation, across Timberland, Vans and 7 For All Mankind.
“As we continue to create more opportunities for growth throughout the music ecosystem, it’s increasingly important that we operate as one global organization with greater speed, flexibility, and precision,” said Boyd Muir. “Tseyin brings a rare combination of strategic leadership, operational excellence, and technology expertise that will help us deliver greater impact at greater scale, driving even more value for artists, songwriters, labels and entrepreneurs around the world.”
