Sullivan Leaves L.A. Direct Models, Miali Arrives

L.A. Direct Models has announced that agent Mike Sullivan is leaving the agency to concentrate on his company, MNP Enterprises, full time. Meanwhile, Direct Models has hired Tara Miali, who formerly ran Cherry Modeling.

Sullivan has been with Direct Models for the past three years.

“I’m quite proud of what we were able to accomplish in my time there,” Sullivan said. “I will miss working with them. I had a great time. One thing I won’t miss is all the tryout auditions the girls forced on me.”

Direct Models owner Derek Hay said, “It’s been a great three years working with Mike. A truly knowledgeable professional without whom Direct could not have achieved or enjoyed the success that it has. We are very sorry to see Mike go, but wish him the best in his new ventures and at the same time we welcome Tara to the company and feel sure that she will be a similarly unique asset to the company.”

Miali offered, “I am greatly looking forward to working with the talent and companies with Direct Models as well as the ‘tryout auditions’ the girls will force on me.”
