David Kramer Succeeds Jeremy Zimmer as UTA CEO, Effective June 2025

Jeremy Zimmer is stepping down as CEO of United Talent Agency (UTA), with David Kramer set to take over the role on June 1, 2025. Zimmer, who has led UTA since 2012, will transition to executive chairman while still serving on the board of directors to ensure a smooth succession. Under Zimmer's leadership, UTA expanded significantly, evolving from a small literary agency into a major player in various entertainment sectors through strategic acquisitions and a focus on artist representation. Kramer, who has been groomed for this role and was president of UTA since 2022, expressed his commitment to continuing the agency's client-centric culture. The transition comes at a time of growth for UTA, which aims to capitalize on its strong positioning in the entertainment landscape. UTA's chairman praised both Zimmer's contributions and Kramer's readiness to lead the agency into its next chapter.
