he is the Founder & CEO of Elevate Management | Producer | Expert in transatlantic American talent strategy ( Paris • London • New York)

After starting his career as a press agent for American films distributed in France by MetropoltianFilmexport for 10 years, Florent Lamy founded Elevate Management in 2013/2014 with the clear goal of bringing the American agency model to Europe.

His first client? Oscar-winning American director James Foley. The agency quickly grew to represent American talent—actors, athletes, content creators, and influencers—in the European market, with prestigious names such as Jeff Goldblum, Megan Fox, Elsa Pataky, Holt McCallany, Djimon Hounsou, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Ben Feldman, and many others.

In 2016, Florent was named one of Screen International’s “Future Leaders: Agents,” an international recognition of his influence and potential in talent management. In 2019, Variety named Elevate Management, for the first time in its history, a French agency in its prestigious list of talent management agencies to watch, normally dedicated to American agencies.

Today, Elevate is a fully integrated agency with offices in Paris, London, New York, and Miami (2024), offering financial packaging, strategic casting, brand partnerships, and image and press management services through a dedicated division.
Florent and his agency Elevate Management have become key partners for the most prestigious American and British agencies, such as CAA, Artist Partnership, Range Media, and Untitled Entertainment, helping them position their clients in Europe.

He is also the founder of Imagineers Studio, which focuses on creating a universe of innovative European superheroes—a strategic narrative project that is part of modern and symbolic storytelling.
