Rich Paul is the CEO and founder of KLUTCH Sports Group, an agency representing top athletes across major sports. Founded in 2012, KLUTCH Sports is known for its athlete-first approach, empowering players on and off the court and field. In 2019, KLUTCH partnered with leading global talent agency United Talent Agency (UTA), and in 2020, Paul joined UTA’s board of directors. Paul has led KLUTCH to significant recognition with his influence, including from GQ as one of the 20 Most Creative Companies and the inaugural TIME 100 list, for most influential companies. Paul was also instrumental in reversing the "Rich Paul Rule," which sought to limit agents without college degrees. In 2023, he launched Klutch Athletics in partnership with New Balance and became a New York Times best-selling author with his memoir, Lucky Me. Paul's additional roles include board positions with LACMA, Designer Brands Inc., and Live Nation.
