Jenny Goodwin

Jenny is Director of Policy, Public Affairs and Campaigns at The Ivors Academy of Music Creators, the UK’s independent professional association for songwriters and composers working across all genres. Since joining the Academy in early 2020, she has overseen the launch and delivery of the joint Academy and Musicians’ Union #Fix Streaming and #ComposersAgainstBuyouts campaigns and, more recently, the Academy’s Composers Under Pressure campaign (prompted by changes to the cultural and funding landscape for classical, jazz and sound art composers). She is also responsible for overseeing the Academy’s policy, public affairs and research activities.

Prior to joining the Academy, she spent five years at PRS for Music working in strategy, planning and governance, two years launching Saffron Hall (an award-winning 740-seat venue) and 10 years as Assistant Chief Executive of the Music Publishers Association.
