“I couldn’t be more excited to be joining ACE as I make the jump into management after being an agent for my entire career,” King said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “I believe ACE is at the pinnacle of discovering and promoting multi-hyphenates across verticals, and it is a natural fit as I continue to grow my business and fiercely advocate for diverse voices across all areas of entertainment.”
ACE was established in 2023, by founding partners Nick Roses, Brian Sher, Eric Tomosunas, and Mona Scott-Young. The company says it “develops and advocates for their multi-hyphenate, multicultural, and diverse clientele” and clients include Kandi Burruss, Busta Rhymes, DeVon Franklin and Wendy Raquel Robinson.

We could not imagine a better partner who has emulated our values for her entire career. She joins our persistent advocacy and bold vision to not just shape the future of the entertainment industry—but set a new, unmatched standard for excellence and transformative representation.”
