Human rights activist and business leader Mandana Dayani has signed with CAA.

Dayani created and founded along with CAA I am a voter., a nonpartisan organization looking to boost civic engagement. More recently, she served as president of Archewell, the Los Angeles-based production, audio and philanthropic company founded by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Archewell has credits like the popular podcast Archetypes on Spotify, the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan and Prince Harry’s best-selling autobiography Spare. The Harry & Meghan docuseries, directed by Liz Garbus, featured extensive interviews with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and chronicled the couple’s romance, their experiences within the British royal family and their role on the world stage.

Since launching in 2018, I am a voter. has registered over 500,000 Americans to encourage voter participation, especially among young people. The organization has worked in partnership with the NBA, Disney, Bumble, Starbucks, the NFL, H&M, ABC, Fox, McDonald’s, CFDA, Urban Outfitters, Tory Burch and iHeartMedia. 

Dayani has also spoken up recently about the threat of antisemitism, including during a special session at the United Nations in New York City where she condemned acts of rape and sexual violence committed during the attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7 by Hamas terrorists.

Dayani pivoted to the entertainment arena – including as a frequent guest on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program – after work as a corporate attorney and a commercial talent agent in Los Angeles. She served as chief brand officer for the tech company Everything But The House, and co-created and hosted The Dissenters podcast with Debra Messing.

Dayani continues to be represented by Kenneth Deutsch at Paul Hastings and Jennifer Bett Communications.
