The powerhouse team of Nadel and Abergel appear on the Power 50 list for the third straight year after leading the Top 40 distributor to 2018 sales of $126 million. The Los Angeles-based firm, which dominates in the entertainment industry, has been enlarging its international footprint in Europe and Latin America. The reason for this expansion is clear: “New markets mean more potential customers,” says Abergel.

“Max Lucado said, ‘A woman who wants to lead the orchestra must turn her back on the crowd.’ To me, this means I’m not looking for the adoration or praise; I’m facing my team working to give them the right tools and direction to succeed. Leadership is not about a title or getting your butt kissed.” Debbie Abergel, Jack Nadel International
