Verve CEO Bill Weinstein Ousted in Agency Shake-Up

Verve, a literary agency, has removed CEO Bill Weinstein after 14 years of service, with no specific reason given. The decision was reportedly made after financial struggles, including the impact of strikes and a contraction in television. The company will not appoint a new CEO, with responsibilities being shared by the founders and managing partner. Weinstein, a founding partner, had been actively involved in Hollywood negotiations and represented clients such as Sara Hess and Michael Arndt.
