Generalization of Schur's Lemma

Let $\rho : G \to GL(V)$ be an irreducible representation of a finite group. Schur's lemma says if $\pi:GL(V) \to GL(V)$ intertwines with $\rho$, that is, $\pi \rho(g) = \rho(g) \pi$ for every $g\in G$, then $\pi = \lambda I$ for some $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$.

Is there a similar lemma for $\rho = m_1 \rho_1 \oplus \ldots \oplus m_k \rho_k$, where $\rho_1, \ldots, \rho_k$ are different irreducible representations? The question is, given such $\rho$, if $\pi \rho = \rho \pi$, then what is the structure of $\pi$?
