“It is great to have someone with Katie’s drive and reputation join our team and bring with her a substantial client list who we are excited to now represent,” Loftus and Meyer said. “She will immediately add strength to our East Coast operation which will be invaluable for APA’s clients in all areas.”

Kolben is the latest ICM Partners agent/executive who left on the eve of the agency’s acquisition by CAA and has since joined APA. She joins her former colleagues Andrew Rogers, Global Head of Talent; Mike Hayes, SVP, Global Concerts; Chris Smith, SVP, Concerts & Talent; agents Seth Lawrence and Phoebe Burnham; and Chief Communications Officer, Brad Turell. APA has been the most aggressive in pursuing ICM alums, with seven joining the agency to date.

“I’m thrilled about the opportunity to help APA grow their unscripted presence in New York,” Kolben said. “APA is an agency that values creative thinking and a hands-on teamwork approach in developing a client’s career, and that is a very exciting environment for me and my clients to join.”
