Agnes Kacicki has joined Primary Wave as its new head of corporate development, in which capacity she'll lead catalog-acquisition efforts and bolster the company's international partnerships.

She will be based in Primary Wave's Los Angeles office, where she will work closely on investor relations with president of IP investment management Bill Cisneros and COO Ramon Villa.

Kacicki was previously a director in the investment banking division of RBC Capital Markets, where she worked on advisory and capital raising activities across music publishing and content production. "I'm incredibly excited to be joining the top management team in music publishing, who I've had the pleasure of knowing for a long time," she proclaimed. "The opportunity to lead Primary Wave's Investments team is a privilege and I am thrilled about the journey ahead."

"Agnes has been a close adviser to Primary Wave for many years in her senior role at RBC," a statement from Primary Wave CEO/founder Larry Mestel reads. She will make a very significant impact on our ability to increase our acquisition capabilities, and service our partners."

Primary Wave handles the catalogs of Bob Marley, Prince, Stevie Nicks, James Brown, Whitney Houston, Ray Charles and Aerosmith, among other big names. Late last year, the company announced a musical stage adaptation of Girls Just Want To Have Fun, the first project to come out of its collaboration with the theater-development company Lively McCabe Entertainment.
