Peter Brown
Peter Brown's mark in the worlds of music, entertainment
and communications began as part of the management team
for The Beatles.
With the death of Brian Epstein, he assumed full responsibility
for their management. He was asked to become a director
of Apple Corps at its formation, and oversaw its day-to-day
operations.
When The Beatles broke up, he became President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Robert Stigwood Organization, Inc.,
a New York-based company with a high profile in theatre
and film production and personal management.
Andrew Lloyd Webber came under the management of RSO in
1971, beginning the long-term association that continues
to this day.
In 1977 Peter formed the Entertainment Development Company,
a Wall Street-financed independent film company. Seeing
a need for sophisticated public relations counsel for high-visibility
clients, he founded Brown & Powers in 1983, subsequently
Brown & Argus and finally Brown Lloyd James in 1997.
He is the chairman of the board of Literacy Partners, a member of the US Steering Committee for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a member of the board for British American Business and a board member of the American Associates of the National Theatre of Great Britain.
He is the author of The Love You Make, a definitive biography
of The Beatles. Born and educated in England, he is a U.S.
Citizen.
