Ole Obermann, who was appointed co-lead of Apple Music in May, has been confirmed as one of the speakers at Web Summit 2025, which kicks off next week in Lisbon. Here’s what to expect. Web Summit Lisbon kicks off next week For the past few years, the Web Summit Lisbon has hosted several Apple executives, including Sarah Herrlinger in 2024 and Craig Federighi in 2021. This year, as spotted by iFeed.pt, it will be Obermann’s turn. He joined Apple just a few months ago, following six years as Global Head of Music Business Development and IP Rights at ByteDance. His career also includes leadership roles at Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group. Here’s how the Web Summit website describes Obermann’s role as Global Head of Apple Music: “Ole Obermann oversees a portfolio at Apple Music that includes Shazam, Platoon, label and publishing partnerships, and new business initiatives. Previously, he was Global Head of Music at Bytedance.” As of now, there are no details available about the title or topic of his session. However, given his background and current role, it is likely to cover Apple’s partnerships and initiatives, as well as the company’s overall relationship with the music industry. Web Summit Lisbon will also feature sessions with executives and celebrities, including Lovable CEO and Co-founder Anton Osika, Qualcomm CEO and President Cristiano Amon, actress and activist Jameela Jamil (The Good Place), and The New York Times Publisher and Chairman A.G. Sulzberger. The event will run from November 10 to 13. You can find more information about it here. Accessory deals on Amazon
