Wright joined UTA in 2015 after its acquisition of The Agency Group.

What they said:
Wright: “Leading the London music group with Neil at such a pivotal time is incredibly exciting. Our focus is on signing exceptional artists and continuing to build a team culture that is inclusive, collaborative and accountable, where a colleague’s win or an artist’s success genuinely feels like a win for everyone.”
Warnock: “It’s been a privilege to watch James grow into not only a first-class agent but a thoughtful, trusted leader. His intelligence, self-deprecating humour and razor‑sharp instincts will be instrumental in shaping the next chapter of UTA’s global music business.”
