Gleeson Upped To CEO Of TuneCore

• Leading independent DIY digital music distributor TuneCore has promoted Chief Revenue Officer Andreea Gleeson to Chief Executive Officer. The announcement was made by Denis Ladegaillerie, CEO of TuneCore’s parent company, Paris-based Believe, who remarked, “When Andreea joined TuneCore five years ago, she brought with her a fresh perspective and proceeded to challenge music industry norms while continuing to innovate and build the company. This promotion recognizes her leadership skills, expertise across product, technology, and marketing, as well as her keen understanding of artist and label needs during a period of accelerated growth in the independent music market. Andreea’s elevation to CEO also underscores Believe’s commitment to gender parity and empowering female leaders. I’m thrilled that she will lead TuneCore, as we shape the future of music around the world to best serve and develop independent artists.”

Gleeson joined TuneCore after many years as an eCommerce pioneer in the retail industry, having been at the forefront of retail’s digital transformation. She was appointed Chief Revenue Officer last year. “I’m inspired daily by the talented artists and industry leading team who make TuneCore the most innovative and forward-thinking independent digital music distributor in the world,” Gleeson said. “I truly believe in our mission — in step with our parent company Believe — to serve artists at every stage of development and will continue to build TuneCore to be the destination where artists can start, grow and manage their careers, while working to level the playing field for all independent artists.”

Matt Barrington will continue as Chief Operating Officer and expand his operational purview to encompass all TuneCore departments, working in concert with Gleeson to lead the company.
