Podcast | SVP of PX, Sony: 2025 was a year of 'difficult moments' and 'incredible highs'

2025 has been another monumental year for Sony Music Group’s People Experience Team, from the “difficult moments” to the “incredible highs.”

Last year, in the final HR Grapevine US podcast for 2024, we spoke to Maria Neve Brownlee, SVP of People Experience for Sony, hearing how her team reimagined HR with a 'global people promise’ and outlining ambitious plans for 2025.

Brownlee returns for our final HR Grapevine US podcast episode in 2025 to reflect on another 12 months of activity, from deep culture listening surveys to the launch of an all-new career hub – and how the team have navigated the success and challenges with resilience, agility, and anti-fragility.

It has also been a fantastic year of podcasts on HR Grapevine US, with people leaders and CHROs joining us from a swathe of backgrounds – from PR giants to tech start-ups, and everything in between.
