IMG ace Eisenbud nets leadership role at WME Sports agency

Max Eisenbud has been named head of client representation for WME Sports, overseeing the agency's representation business across tennis, golf, action sports and sports content.

Eisenbud most recently served as head of clients for the agency's IMG Tennis division, which he will continue to lead. That global team represents six of the world's top 10-ranked male tennis players and six of the top 10-ranked female players.

IMG Tennis clients include active players such as Grand Slam champions Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, and Iga Swiatek, icons Serena Williams, John McEnroe and Andy Murray, as well as American standouts Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe.

Beginning his career with IMG in 2000, Eisenbud built unprecedented commercial portfolios for major champions Maria Sharapova and Li Na, regularly placing them among the highest-paid athletes in the world.

"There are few individuals like Max Eisenbud – an agent and a leader who is passionate, creative, and one of the hardest working people in our business," said WME Group co-chairman Christian Muirhead.

"Over the past 25 years he has developed some of the world's top tennis players and transformed IMG Tennis into an undisputed leader.

"Max is a natural fit to lead WME Sports into the future, where we will continue to invest and grow under Max's leadership."

Supporting Eisenbud as part of the agency's leadership team are Lee White (sports content group); Josh Levy (sports broadcast group); Mike Zavodsky (Sports' property solutions business); Jason Horrell (golf division) and Mark Ervin (action and Olympic sports division).

WME Sports helps clients grow their impact and influence beyond the game through landmark contracts, major brand deals and groundbreaking media ventures.
