He is launching his own management firm, Intenta Management, with his long-time client John Cena as Intenta’s first client. ICM agent and partner Lara Sackett has been elevated to assume Baime’s role as co-head of the Production Department alongside fellow co-heads Paul Hook, a longtime fixture in the field, and Janet Carol Norton.Baime, who came up through the ranks of the ICM production department, has held an unusual dual position; he also has been Cana’s point agent for the past 18 years, after signing the then-twentysomething wrestler outside of the ring.
In a close relationship that somewhat resembled that between talent and manager, Baime navigated Cena’s ascend to a highly marketable movie and TV/streaming scripted and reality star with a string of endorsement deals.
