Jonas Group Publishing has appointed Leslie DiPiero as president.

She’ll report directly to JGE CEO, Phil Guerini, under whose guidance JGP will also expand its overall Nashville footprint with catalog acquisitions, recordings and sync opportunities.

In her new role, DiPiero will sign and develop songwriters and producers, while nurturing the current catalog and writers, including Franklin Jonas—who dropped recently dropped his debut single “Cocaine”—and Terri Jo Box, who has penned tracks for Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde and more.

DiPiero will join JGP on 5/31 from Tree Vibez Music, where she spent six years as a GM. She will continue to work with Tyler Hubbard, whose songs are currently administered by Warner Chappell Music.

“Leslie has earned the respect of this community which is built on years of unflinching integrity and passion for songwriters and artists,” said Guerini. “Her relationships, creative and business acumen is unparalleled, and we are thrilled to have her lead Jonas Group Publishing.”

“Working with Phil Guerini and Kevin Jonas Sr. is an honor and privilege for me. These two individuals have a longstanding friendship based on honesty and integrity,” said DiPiero, who also serves as Governor for The Recording Academy’s Nashville Chapter.
