Bringing on someone with Will’s experience and reputation in the Washington, DC marketplace is an important step for UTA as we expand and grow our client roster of former government officials, media and political thought leaders,” said Epstein. “There is no area of the speakers business that is more in-demand or exciting than the political and policy sector. It presents unlimited opportunities for us and our buyers and Will’s deep network and experience will be a game-changer.”
“I’m excited to begin working with UTA to help grow their speakers division in our nation’s capital,” added William Lee. “This will be a great opportunity to marry UTA’s talent with buyers and audiences eager to learn more about the issues facing their industries.”
