After joining the company in 2011 when it was still in its earliest days, operating out of a Los Angeles condo, Chipello worked his way up the ranks to become the company\u2019s partner and head of A&amp;R in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOver the last few years, Chipello and the Position Music team have seen significant gains. The company, founded by CEO <strong>Tyler Bacon<\/strong>, first started as a sync-focused publisher, but in recent years, Position has expanded into being a full-service publisher and label. In 2023, Position brought on The Vesper Group in 2023 as a minority investor to support the company\u2019s growth and investment in talent, and around that same time, Position started to earn shares of major hits like \u201cBeautiful Things\u201d by Benson Boone, \u201cNo Broke Boys\u201d by Tinashe, \u201cAre You Even Real\u201d by Teddy Swims and more. All this has amounted to a growing share of the publishing market, breaking the company into<em> Billboard\u2019s <\/em><a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/publishers-quarterly\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/publishers-quarterly\/\">Publishers Quarterly<\/a> ranks for the first time last year, and since then, they\u2019ve stuck. As of Q2 of 2025, Position was among the top ten publishers by market share for the Pop Airplay and Hot 100 charts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story \/\/ lrv-u-display-inline-block
