Music and Copyright Beyond a Lifetime
I decided to take on the tremendous challenge of being the CEO of COTT because of my passion for the collective management of copyright and my commitment to ensuring that Caribbean songwriters and music publishers are justly rewarded for their creativity and investment in creativity respectively. Indeed it was as a result of a strategic planning exercise under my tenure as President of the Board of Directors of COTT that COTT's mission statement was formulated to:
- maximize the potential income from licensing of copyright works;
- collect and distribute royalties to right owners;
- create an awareness of the value of copyright works as intellectual property;
- ensure a healthy corporate and work environment for all stakeholders.
This is by no means an easy task, but I intend to make every effort to attaining such goals.
