Music streaming service Spotify has retained executive search firm Odgers Berndtson to assist them in finding chief operating officer as the number two executive after founder Daniel Ek. A number of candidates, particularly in Silicon Valley, have been contacted for the job. Our first source on this story said that Spotify was actually looking for a new CEO to replace Ek. But Ek says this is inaccurate. "We're looking for a COO to help run the company," he said by phone this morning. I also spoke with Ek about the story I wrote yesterday about acquisition attention from Google and Apple. Ek says Spotify has had absolutely no acquisition discussions with Apple at all, ever. "We don't want to sell, we are here for the long term," he said.
