David Kramer will succeed Jeremy Zimmer as CEO of UTA effective 6/1, with the latter continuing to serve as executive chairman through the end of the year.

Zimmer will remain a member of UTA's board. Paul Wachter will maintain the post of chairman.

“I am honored to serve as the next CEO of this incredible company and work with our talented team of agents and executives who, unlike any other, prioritize clients above all else and share a commitment to delivering tailored, impactful opportunities,” said Kramer, who got his start in the UTA mail room and has been president since 2022.

“Thanks to Jeremy’s vision and leadership, UTA has not only grown, but evolved into a more diversified, dynamic company, expanding into new areas, while strengthening our core business," he continued. "Our complementary businesses are positioned to take advantage of an ever-changing environment, and I look forward to building on our momentum to advance the UTA platform.”

“These 35 years at UTA have been so incredibly rewarding,” Zimmer added. “While transition is never easy, this particular moment feels very right. David has been my chosen successor for many years and I’m certain that he will continue to uphold our great culture, support our amazing colleagues and honor the privilege of serving our clients.”
