For the second year in a row, GEMA CEO Dr. Tobias Holzmüller has been named one of Billboard magazine's “International Power Players.” Each year, Billboard honors 100 outstanding leaders who have made a significant impact on the global music industry.
“I am delighted to be named one of Billboard's ‘International Power Players’ again this year,” said Dr. Tobias Holzmüller. “This renewed inclusion is not only a personal honor, but above all interna-tional recognition of GEMA's work. It shows that we, as a collecting society, are helping to shape the global landscape – for fair conditions, creative diversity, and the future of music worldwide.”
The renewed award underscores GEMA's growing importance in the international music business. GEMA is increasingly focusing on digitalization, the rights management of its members, and in-ternational cooperation with other collecting societies and players in the music industry.
