UTA, a US-based talent, entertainment and sports company, has hired Carmen Bona as its chief strategy and corporate development officer.
Last year, UTA (formerly known as United Talent Agency) launched its corporate venturing unit and hired Clinton Foy to join Sam Wick to explore opportunities in the gaming industry.
Bona was previously a managing director and partner with Boston Consulting Group, helping to lead their technology, media and telecommunications practice. Bona joins UTA as a partner and will report to CEO Jeremy Zimmer.
Zimmer said: “Carmen will lead an expanding corporate strategy and M&A team that will help ensure UTA is continually exploring new possibilities, fresh alliances and market-leading ways to expand our business and the opportunities we are able to create for our clients.”
Bona added: “UTA is innovating across so may new and established sectors of media and entertainment, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with my new colleagues to help shape what comes next.”
