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.

Lady Gaga Takes Mayhem Ball on a Victory Lap With Second North American Leg in 2026: Here Are the Dates

The pop superstar will visit a new set of cities next year, including two nights in Montreal.

For months now, Lady Gaga has been asking her fans “How Bad Do U Want Me” during her sold-out run of the Mayhem Ball. With the emphatic response she’s gotten, the pop star is ready to give fans even more of what they want.

Gaga announced a second North American leg of The Mayhem Ball on Tuesday (Sept. 9), set to take place in early 2026. With a new run of 21 added dates, Mother Monster will visit cities that she wasn’t able to reach with her first run of the Mayhem Ball — such as Atlanta, Austin, Boston and Washington, D.C. — as well as two encore performances each to Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and New York’s Madison Square Garden.
