The Team’s New Board: 11 Execs, a Fresh Rebrand, and a Lineup That Feels Like a Festival

The Team, the LA‑based sports, music and entertainment agency formerly known as Wasserman, has unveiled an 11‑member board to steer its next chapter.

The board was announced shortly after Casey Wasserman sold his 40 % stake to Providence Equity Partners, prompting the July rebrand from the Wasserman name to "The Team."

Leading the new board is chief executive Michael Watts, with Elizabeth Lind joining him among a roster of senior leaders from across the firm’s sports, music and representation businesses.

The composition of the board reflects the company’s multi‑disciplinary focus – a mix of seasoned agents, media strategists and music executives – giving it a vibe that could easily double as a festival lineup.

According to the announcement, the board’s mandate is straightforward: drive growth, deepen synergy across the agency’s three pillars, and continue building the brand identity that moves beyond the Wasserman name.

Industry observers note that the new governance structure signals a clear intent to capitalize on the firm’s expanded ownership and to position "The Team" as a unified force in the global entertainment landscape.

The first board meeting is set to take place in Los Angeles, where the members will begin charting the strategy for the company’s next phase of growth.
