Jeff Kwatinez

Jeff Kwatinez is a Hollywood manager and part of "The Firm", a managing agency located in Southern California. Kwatinez managed Kelly Clarkson's career from her post-"American Idol" days until she fired him June 2007. August 2007 Kwatinez was hired by Britney Spears to serve as her new manager after spending months without one.

"On September 17 2007 he released the following statement: "It saddens us to confirm media reports that we have terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears. We have represented Britney for the past month. We believe Britney is enormously talented, and has made a terrific record. But current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job. We wish Britney the best."
