The management shuffle is continuing at The Feldman Agency (TFA).

The Toronto-based talent agency has parted ways with Rob Segal, previously president of brands and partnerships.


Segal became a partner in the company in 2023 as part of an expansion to become a full-service entertainment company.

In 2024, Segal was named one of Billboard's International Power Players alongside CEO Jeff Craib. He cited his biggest achievements from that first year on the job as "shepherding the new business in owned and operated properties," licensing and branding opportunities for TFA's artists and launching the first season of The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium, the outdoor concert venue series that then "hit pause" in 2025.

This news comes less than two months after TFA announced a series of internal promotions. Veteran Joel Baskin was named senior vice president, Josie Cheng was named managing director-administration, Amy Lloyd was given a new role as talent buyer, Emma Leblanc took the reins as marketing associate and Jessie Silverstein was promoted to senior coordinator.

The appointments signalled TFA's increased "strategic focus on talent buying, artist support and operational innovation across its offices in Toronto and Vancouver," they said at the time.

When reached for comment, Craib confirms Segal's departure.

"While Rob Segal is no longer heading up partnerships, the exciting operational staff promotions we announced previously speak to TFA’s growth as a company," he tells Billboard Canada. "Our strong work with brands, artists and our properties in this space continues."

The Feldman Agency's talent roster includes major names like Shania Twain, Daniel Caesar, Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Josh Ross and Owen Riegling, plus non-music clients like All Elite Wrestling.

Craib and TFA president Tom Kemp were named to Billboard Canada's 2025 Power Players list, citing major tours for Alessia Cara, Mother Mother, Barenaked Ladies, Carly Rae Jepsen, Charlotte Cardin and more.

Proudest 2025 Achievement:

I am incredibly proud of the Ishkōdé Records family this year. Our artists and their music are the heart of everything we do, and witnessing their creativity, brilliance, and humanity shine has been radically inspiring. As a team, we are releasing nine full-length albums within this calendar year — a significant undertaking that speaks to both our commitment and our momentum. Beyond the sheer volume of artistic output, we celebrated the remarkable success of our artists as they toured across Canada and internationally, earned major award nominations and wins, topped charts and continued to grow their fan bases. What makes me proudest is that these achievements are not only professional milestones, but reflections of who our artists are as people — visionary, generous and grounded. To see them thrive artistically while also embodying such integrity and strength of spirit has been the most rewarding accomplishment of the year. I’m proud to be working with my incredible team to support artists who make the world a better place.
