UTA has appointed Lindsay Wagner its first Chief Diversity Officer.
Her oversight extends to the agency’s previously announced commitment of $1m to social justice causes, which accompanied initiatives to raise pay for entry-level positions, identify unconscious bias via training for all employees and promote senior agents of color to the UTA board and partnership, among other actions. Additionally, Wagner will counsel the company’s clients.
“As UTA grows, we must continue to cultivate a more diverse, multifaceted and inclusive culture. Lindsay has a proven track record of pushing the envelope and leading with a fresh and unique perspective. I am confident that she will bring ingenuity to this new role and will be a great steward for the cause,” said UTA CEO Jeremy Zimmer.
Based in Los Angeles, Wagner will report to Zimmer and UTA partner and Chief People Officer Jean-Rene Zetrenne.
