For 12 years, he held the position of Deputy Director of the International Division of the NCAC and was the Secretary to the Vice Minister of the NCAC. Guo Biao is a council member of the China IP Law Society and a council member of the China Copyright Society.
A London native, Ed Peto moved to China in 2006 to serve on the front lines of the music industry. He now owns and runs Outdustry Group, a unique family of businesses specializing in China market entry for western music companies, services and talent, producer management, rights management, digital marketing, market intelligence and sync licensing.
A China veteran of 17 years, Nathaniel Davis stumbled into the music industry in 2001 when he organized a series of benefit concerts for UNICEF. He booked his first Grammy Award-winning artist, k.d. lang, in 2002 in Shanghai. Split Works is the second company in China which Nathaniel has partnered in founding.
