CAACreative Artists Agency has expanded its leadership ranks with the promotion of Chief Financial Officer James Burtson to President. His former position will be filled by former PwC Chief Operating Officer Carol Sawdye. Past CAA President Richard Lovett, along with Kevin Huvane and Bryan Lourd, will continue in his role as CAA co-chairman.
The move is said to be part of CAA’s efforts in the last year to increase diversity with the formation of the gender-balanced CAA Board that is responsible for day-to-day management of the agency. To that end, CAA in the last year has hired other key leaders, including Dr. Sharoni Little as Head of Global Inclusion Strategy and Tyrone Bland to lead U.S. Government Affairs.
