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.

Ontario Raises Maximum Penalty for Illegal Ticket Resale to $25,000

Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls the move a "massive win" for fans in Ontario, after imposing a ban on the resale of tickets above face value in April.

The Ontario government is once again cracking down on the ticket resale market.

The Ford government has announced that it will be raising the maximum penalty for reselling tickets above face value from $10,000 to $25,000, more than doubling the fine. The change is meant to discourage businesses and individuals from violating recent legislation in the province that caps ticket resale at face value and will take effect on June 10, just ahead of the FIFA World Cup's arrival in Toronto.
