WWE Taps CAA Alum Nick Khan as President & Chief Revenue Officer

WWE has appointed Nick Khan, former co-head of television at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), as its new president and chief revenue officer, reporting directly to Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.

Khan, a former practicing attorney, transitioned to International Creative Management (ICM) in 2006 and launched their sports media department and represented the biggest names in sports broadcasting. In 2012, Khan moved to CAA, where he became co-head of the TV department. During his tenure, Khan represented WWE.

“Nick is a seasoned media executive with a deep understanding of our business and a proven track record of generating significant value for sports and entertainment properties,” said McMahon. “While representing WWE at CAA, he was instrumental in transforming our business model by securing domestic media rights increases of 3.6x over our previous agreements. Nick’s management style and personal demeanor are perfect for WWE’s entrepreneurial culture, and he will fit right in with our exceptional management team.”

“I am very much looking forward to expanding my relationship with Vince McMahon and the entire team at WWE, and becoming a full-time member of the WWE family,” said Khan. “It’s rare to have an opportunity to work at a company that is not only legendary in what it has already accomplished but also uniquely poised to enter into an unprecedented phase of growth and expansion across all lines of business. Our collective industry experience will enable us to extract maximum value across the portfolio globally while driving long-term shareholder value.”
