Two More Sony Music Australia Executives Exit Company Amid Workplace Investigation

Two more senior executives at Sony Music Australia have left the company as its ongoing investigation into alleged harassment in the workplace continues.

Back in June, it was revealed that Vice President of Artists and Repertoire (A&R) Pat Handlin and Senior Vice President of Strategy, Corporate Affairs and Human Resources Mark Stebnicki had been placed on "indefinite leave".

As The Sydney Morning Herald reports, both Handlin and Stebnicki have now exited the company.

Stebnicki had been with Sony Music for 14 years, starting as a business and human resources advisor, while Handlin joined in 2006 as an intern and had held various A&R roles both in Australia and the UK.

Two days before Pat Handlin and Stebnicki were placed on leave in June, it was announced that long time Sony Music Australia leader Denis Handlin AO would exit the company "effective immediately". 

Handlin's exit came just over a week after a report emerged that Sony's US head office was reportedly "investigating claims of discrimination, bullying and harassment" within the Australian arm of the business.

Sony Music Australia has not issued an official public statement about Pat Handlin and Stebnicki's departure.
