These Are the Canadian Music Executives on Billboard’s Global Power Players 2026 List

The list honours execs from all over the global music landscape, and includes Canadian entries from all three major record labels, Reservoir, Oak View Group, The Feldman Agency and more.

Billboard Global Power Players is here.

Every year, Billboard celebrates the executives from key industry sectors — nominated by their firms and peers and chosen by Billboard editors including from Billboard Canada — who have primary responsibility for markets outside the United States. Countries like Japan, the U.K., Germany, China, France, South Korea, Canada, Brazil and Mexico account for 60% of the world’s recorded-music revenue, according to IFPI’s 2025 Global Music Report.
