>EXCLUSIVE: After nearly 17 years at Paradigm, Nick LoPiccolo has parted ways with the agency as he enters the next phase of his career.
>As the industry undergoes transformational change, LoPiccolo is focused on a more flexible, unrestrained model to unlock new revenue streams and opportunities beyond traditional agency structures. Paradigm is actively supporting him during this transition and collaborating with him on the next steps, with his clients expected to transition with LoPiccolo.
>LoPiccolo’s client roster includes Aaron Donald, Reggie Bush, Ray Lewis, Sean Avery, Amanda Serrano, Zhang Weili, Jorge Masvidal, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Jade Cargill, Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton, and more than a dozen WWE Superstars and emerging talent, who are expected to benefit from an agency-plus relationship as this transition formalizes.
>LoPiccolo and Paradigm will maintain an ongoing professional relationship and continue working together on their shared clients in the interim.
>Having joined the agency in 2009 in film finance and sales, LoPiccolo later transitioned into talent and literary representation, reinventing his role multiple times as the business evolved. He worked closely with managing partner Andrew Ruf for more than a decade, helping shape strategy across talent, content, finance, and emerging platforms. In November 2024, he conceived and launched Paradigm’s The Sports Group, positioning athletes at the center of four-quadrant storytelling across film, TV, media rights, publishing, and brands.
>Across his career, LoPiccolo arranged financing and distribution for more than 150 films, spanning studio, independent, and global markets, including recent titles such as Immaculate from Black Bear and Neon.
>LoPiccolo is in talks with film funds, production companies, and agencies, particularly around opportunities that blend sports, media, and narrative content. A landing spot — and the next phase — will be announced soon.
