David Goldberg
David Goldberg was named to his position in January 2009 after having served as President and CEO of Endemol USA over the previous eight years.

The company’s many successes include the Emmy Award-winning series “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” as well as “Big Brother,” “Wipeout,” “Jerseylicious” and “Love in the Wild.” NBC’s “Deal or No Deal,” “1 vs. 100” and “Fear Factor” have also been a part of the company’s outstanding franchises from the beginning.

Extending beyond the world of reality programming, Goldberg has brought a scripted division to the company, Endemol Studios, which launched it’s first scripted show “Hell on Wheels” to AMC, becoming the 2nd highest rated show in network history. The show will return this fall for its sophomore season. In addition, the scripted studio has sold another pilot “Low Winter Sun,” to AMC and currently developing a pilot “Red Widow” for ABC Studios.
