    Apple Corps, the Beatles‘ media corporation, has named Tom Greene as its new CEO, the announced Tuesday morning.

    Greene is best-known for his work with the Harry Potter franchise, where he worked first as an executive both at Pottermore Publishing, then as the CFO and later general manager at Wizarding World Digital, the joint venture between Warner Media and Pottermore. Greene is currently the chief operating officer of esports programming company Blast, and he is still on the board at Pottermore.

    We are thrilled to welcome Tom Greene as CEO,” Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison and Sean Ono Lennon said in a joint statement. “We have a lot of exciting plans and Tom’s experience and vision make him the perfect person to join us in making it all happen.”

    Greene’s appointment comes months after previous CEO Jeff Jones, who served as Apple Corps’ top executive for 17 years, stepped down from his post last October, per Billboard. The Beatles had first established Apple Corps back in 1968, and Greene will serve as the third CEO in the company’s history, per the company.

    Apple Corps remains active in overseeing the Fab Four’s musical legacy, giving the signoff for Sam Mendes’ biopics on all four of the Beatles. Those films will star Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and they’re expected to release in 2028.

    “It is a huge honour to lead Apple Corps into this new phase of its history,” Greene said in a statement. “Like so many people around the world, I grew up in a household obsessed with The Beatles and their music. At a time when the world might need more of The Beatles’ spirit, there are so many new and innovative ways to bring their unique magic to all generations of fans. I cannot wait to get started.”
