United Talent Agency (UTA) has announced the appointment of Judy Schwab as its new Chief People Officer. Schwab brings over two decades of experience in leading people and culture at prominent organizations like Disney and Apple. She will be responsible for building high-performing teams and leading UTA's next phase of growth.

Schwab joins UTA from the short-lived Venu sports venture of Warner Bros. Discovery, Fox, and Disney, which was ultimately dissolved. Prior to this, she was a senior HR executive at Apple, focusing on the tech giant's services division, which includes Apple TV+, Sports, Video, and Music. At Disney from 2018 to 2023, Schwab was part of the executive team that launched Disney+, requiring significant recruiting and HR support as the streaming unit scaled globally.

"Judy’s exceptional track record in building high-performing teams and leading people and culture made her the ideal person for this role," said David Kramer, CEO of UTA. "Her leadership, insight, and expertise will be instrumental as we continue to invest in UTA’s talent for our next phase of growth."

UTA, a global talent agency with a reputation for its client-first approach, represents iconic talent and brands across entertainment, sports, and culture. The appointment of Schwab is the latest move to bolster UTA's corporate support staff since Kramer took the reins as CEO in June.
