Veteran talent agent and former chairman and chief executive of  
International Creative Management alum has officially launched his  
long-rumored talent and literary agency, Resolution. Berg, who spent nearly 30 years at ICM, will helm the new agency.

His  
executive team includes music agent/television producer Jeff Franklin,  
formerly of ATI, as Chief Operating Officer; former WME Vice President  
Laura Li as CFO; Randy Greenberg as Co-Head of Operations and Business  
Development and Jon Gumpert as General Counsel and Head of Business  
Affairs. Both Greenberg and Gumpert are former movie studio execs.

Others making the jump to Resolution include Terry Rhodes, who until  
recently, was co-head of ICM's contemporary music unit and Steve  
Schenck, formerly of Paradise Artists, who will helm Resolutions' music  
division. Deadline is also reporting that Resolution has hired a number  
of literary agents, including Rich Green and Shari Smiley from CAA and  
Abram Nalibotsky from Gersh. Additional announcements regarding new  
hirings are also expected in coming weeks.

Resolution will focus on the core functions of talent representation but  
will also provide a wide range of financial and advisory services  
including the sale of libraries and catalogues, financial transactions  
for media companies, raising capital for independent and studio films,  
providing restructuring advice and the sale and licensing of  
independently financed films and television series to the domestic and  
international markets.

Berg's launch of the new agency was backed by the Phoenix-based private  
investment firm Najafi Companies, who, according to Deadline Hollywood,  
which capitalized Resolution with as much as $200 million, which may  
offer Berg significant latitude in acquiring the assets of smaller  
agencies as he builds his company's own roster. *via [Celebrity Access](http://www.celebrityaccess.com/?ref=hypebot.com)*
