 <p>Although it’s unclear who will replace Ruxandra, she noted that the WMG CEO “has plans for my successor and you’ll be hearing from him about that soon.”</p>
 <p>Ruxandra leaves the firm three <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="years" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/years.html">years</a> after she became the top-level executive at WMG. In this role, Ruxandra formed a music accelerator program alongside Polygon Labs to power the “next generation of innovation at the intersection of web3 and music.”</p>
 <p>She was also a vocal <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="supporter" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/supporter.html">supporter</a> of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). For example, she helped OpenSea, an NFT marketplace, to enter into a collaboration with WMG in an effort to “build and extend their fan communities in web3.”</p>
 <p>Ruxandra first joined WMG in the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="early" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/early.html">early</a> 2010s as business development, but four <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="years" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/years.html">years</a> later moved to Universal Music Group.</p>
 <p>She returned to WMG in 2018 as the firm’s top executive, leading Warner Music’s push into web3, NFTs and gaming.</p>
