Executive Action: Position Music
• Position Music, the independent publisher, record label and management firm distributed by Virgin Music Group, welcomes Jay Moore as VP, Head of Investments. In this new role, Moore will lead analysis for the frontline label and publishing signings along with catalog acquisitions. Moore transitions from Ditto Music, where he served as Chief Investment Officer. He earlier worked for Kobalt Music as Sr. Director, Investments & Office of CEO.
Moore will work out of Position Music’s Los Angeles offices and report directly to President & CEO Tyler Bacon, who said, “Jay is an important addition to the executive team as the amount of acquisitions and frontline deals have become more substantial over the last two years. The ability to quickly analyze and price deals is a crucial piece of ultimately closing them. We are immediately seeing the benefit of his work in the current pipeline, along with the work he did on our recent Gesaffelstein acquisition. I’m thankful for our partners at Vesper Company who had worked with Jay in the past and helped bring him into Position Music.”
Moore remarked, “I’m excited to be joining Position, one of the few remaining independents of its size and depth in the industry. The evolution and sustained growth of the company, while never wavering from its songwriter and artist-first approach, has been both impressive and inspiring. As the Gesaffelstein catalog acquisition marks the beginning of a meaningful new chapter for Position, I’m honored to be a part of its continued mission and scale the business further to its potential as a leader and creative force in music.” [Photo Credit: Delia Bush]
