The financing platform has also launched a music publishing arm
Pipeline, the financing platform serving the music industry and wider creative economy, has appointed Spencer LeBoff as Head of Revenue, effective immediately.
LeBoff will lead Pipeline’s commercial strategy and relationships with record labels, music publishers, distributors, artists and IP investment funds.
The LA-based exec will also oversee business development with banks, financing partners and industry organizations, and participate in Pipeline’s Investment Committee.
LeBoff joins from Avex Music Group, where he served as Senior Vice President, Head of Publishing & Acquisitions.
Prior he was General Manager of Publishing at beatBread.
LeBoff’s appointment coincides with Pipeline’s launch of a music publishing arm, extending its financing platform to support songwriters, publishers and publishing catalogs alongside the recorded music sector.
It completed its first publishing advance last week.
Matt Spetzler, Chairman of Pipeline: “Spencer is exactly the kind of leader we were looking for as Pipeline enters its next phase of growth. He brings a rare combination of creative music industry experience, independent music expertise and structured finance, and understands the needs of rights holders across every part of the business. As we continue expanding our work with labels, publishers, distributors, artists and investors, Spencer will lead many of those relationships and help shape the next generation of Pipeline’s products and services.”
