This includes transforming Warner Music Group into one of the world’s most successful recording and publishing companies; turning French-based streaming service Deezer into the second largest independent music streaming service globally; and launching DAZN, a pioneering sports streaming service offering live and on-demand events, betting, and merchandise—and serving fans in more than 200 countries and territories.

Select Investments

Warner Music Group

In 2020, Access took Warner Music Group public, delivering a 14x+ return.

In a dramatic turnaround for the music business, the record company was valued at $15 billion on its first day of trading, quadruple the $3.3 billion value when Blavatnik bought the company in 2011, which was widely seen as a contrarian bet at the time.
