FAST COMPANY HONORS GOLNAR KHOSROWSHAHI AS ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE PEOPLE IN BUSINESS 2023
Date:
Reservoir’s Founder & CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi has been named to Fast Company’s list of The Most Creative People in Business 2023. The list recognizes 54 groundbreaking individuals, who are redefining their industries through inventive strategy and problem solving.
In her feature, Khosrowshahi was honored for “unlocking music,” specifically bringing seminal hip-hop group De La Soul’s music to streaming platforms for the first time ever. The article highlighted the road to streaming, from Reservoir’s acquiring Tommy Boy in 2021, to the meticulous licensing and sample clearing process. The hard work paid off, resulting in 18 million streams globally within a week of the catalog’s release. With this culturally significant music now available, Fast Company notes other companies may follow in Reservoir’s footprints, while also praising Khosrowshahi for achieving new licensing opportunities for De La Soul, particularly following the featured use of “The Magic Number” as an end credit song of the 2021 blockbuster film Spider-Man: No Way Home.
