That said, Sway formally disbanded last month. TalentX's founding team consists of CEO Warren Lentz, chief strategy officer Jason Wilhelm, VP of talent Michael Gruen, and Richards.
ReKTGlobal previously collaborated with TalentX on a joint venture called TalentX Gaming (Txg), which was formed last May. That talent management shop was dedicated to esports and gaming creators, and was led by Wilhelm. Txg also saw the formation of a gamer-focused creator collective dubbed SwayGaming.
