TuneCore just lost its main boss during a sudden corporate leadership shuffle. Andreea Gleeson stepped away from the chief executive desk after holding the top spot for years. She plans to take a Strategic Advisor gig at the parent entity Believe, effective immediately. The decision came down through an internal memo where she claimed the move lets her support executive teams better.
Oversight duties shift to Romain Vivien, the Global Head of Music at Believe. He intends to manage things alongside Chief Revenue Officer Brian Miller and Chief Technology and Product Officer Luxi Huang. Denis Ladegaillerie voiced gratitude for the departing executive while confirming this new structure aligns with long-term growth strategies meant to utilize group resources more effectively.
Gleeson spent a decade with the distributor and helped launch initiatives like the TuneCore Accelerator for artist development. Her tenure saw self-releasing musicians earn over five billion dollars through the service since the platform launched. She pushed for gender equity and fought streaming fraud while claiming the service transformed from simple distribution into a career-building machine under her watch.
The memo described this change as a planned transition rather than an abrupt firing. Future operations will prioritize integrating Believe capabilities to help creators expand globally. Gleeson feels the business sits in a strong position to empower independent artists without her daily involvement. She leaves behind a legacy of modernization and platform expansion.
