Netflix Hires Jeff Gaspin As VP Unscripted Series In Coup For Streamer
Netflix has hired Jeff Gaspin as VP Unscripted Series, a big coup for Netflix, which has been searching for a high-profile figure to lead its reality business.
Gaspin’s hiring will give Riegg, who also oversees Netflix’s booming sports-adjacent business as well as its documentary universe, the opportunity to look big picture while having a respected exec to take pitches and share the load on entertainment formats. This marks a return to the executive ranks for Gaspin who spent almost two decades at NBCU, rising to chairman of NBC Universal TV Entertainment with oversight of a portfolio spanning 16 broadcast and cable networks before he exited after the Comcast merger in 2010.
