• Lori Lins – President
  Lori started the business in 1978 with a cardboard box and a typewriter from the floor of her apartment. Starting in front of the camera, her transition to the other side of the business was done through the school of hard knocks. After 46 years in business her ability to select talent, negotiate contracts and navigate the industry with precise attention to detail are part of the company’s greatest assets. When she isn’t finding new ways to expand the reach of Lori Lins Ltd, you can usually find her floating down a lazy river in her kayak, or hiking to the top of a mountain in some far away locale, as both traveling and kayaking fill her life with passion.

  Trent has been working with the company since 2008 and was integral in the expansion of LLL to the Chicago market with the opening of our West Loop office in 2012.

Her diligence in tracking performers’ compensation, as well as her fair and reasonable approach endear her to both talent and client alike, but it is her personal relationship with everyone she meets for which she is really known.
