CAA also employes executives since the agency operates in certain sectors in which the word agent means little. Shelby Kelleher was promoted to executive in the property sales department, and the same goes for Carey Schwartz in the marketing department and Jordan Harnsberger in the sports department.
Harnsberger, Katz, Schwartz, and Weintraub will be based in Los Angeles; Kelleher and Stone will be based in New York; Sharpe will be based in Nashville; and Nichols will be based in London.
