Disgraced music executive Charlie Walk has a new job, according to Billboard<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0The former Republic Group president, who \u201cparted ways\u201d with the company<\/a> earlier this year after numerous women accused him of sexual misconduct<\/a>, has now\u00a0taken on a consulting role for industry vet Steve Stoute\u2019s UnitedMasters. According to its website<\/a>, the new company \u201cprovides premium music distribution services and facilitates unique partnerships between artists and the world\u2019s biggest brands.\u201d<\/p>\n

In January, Tristan Coopersmith, Walk\u2019s former employee at Columbia Records, posted an open letter<\/a>\u00a0accusing Walk of sexual misconduct<\/a>. \u201cFor a year I shuddered at the idea of being called into your office, where you would stealthily close the door and make lewd comments about my body and share your fantasies of having sex with me,\u201d she wrote. Coopersmith accused him of putting his hand on her thigh without consent and \u201cwhisper[ing] disgusting things into my ear and I had to smile so that no one suspected anything. On multiple occasions your wife was sitting right across from us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Multiple women came out to Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> following Coopersmith\u2019s letter, accusing Walk\u00a0of behaving inappropriately toward them, including making sexual comments, sending unsolicited, sexually explicit pictures and video, exposing his penis and inappropriately touching them both in private and in crowded meetings.\u00a0All the women who accused Walk of misconduct fit the same criteria: early twenties, relatively new to the industry and working as assistants or in similar positions.<\/p>\n

In March, Walk and Republic \u201cagreed to part ways\u201d<\/a>\u00a0following an internal investigation by Universal Music Group and the beleaguered exec has kept a relatively low profile since then. Walk has been working with singer Stefan Benz as a label contact, according to the vocalist\u2019s\u00a0social media profiles<\/a>, though his exact role in his career is unclear.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what Walk\u2019s specific responsibilities at UnitedMasters will entail. Walk and Stoute did not immediately reply to requests for comment and more information. A request for more information to UnitedMasters did not elicit a reply.<\/p>\n
