Margaret McGuffin is the CEO of Music Publishers Canada, where she’s steering the organization through a transformative period. In the past year, she led MPC’s 75th‑anniversary celebrations, spotlighting the fact that 81% of Canadian independent publishers’ revenue now comes from foreign sources and that MPC members represent 90% of music on streaming, radio and screen. She’s built out an advocacy team that successfully lobbied for updated copyright policies and sits on the boards of Canada’s Theatre Museum and MusiCounts’ Advisory Committee. Margaret spearheaded MPC’s AI working group — engaging daily with policymakers to make sure human creators are respected as technology develops — and expanded the NXTGen leadership program while growing the Women in the Studio Accelerator to over 40 graduates.
