Emanuel
CEO
While 2019 dealt a big blow to Emanuel when he was forced to scrap his IPO plans, Endeavor hasn’t stopped evolving. The company acquired the Harry Walker Agency in November and folded its own WME Speakers division into it, operating the combined unit separately. Emanuel also brought in industry veteran Lloyd Braun to manage the representation side of Endeavor. Endeavor’s content-production division (a thorn in the side of the Writers Guild of America) is also growing, in part thanks to the launch of a new podcast studio. Since 2009, Emanuel has made a string of acquisitions, including digital-video tech company NeuLion, which helped form the foundation of Endeavor Streaming and served to power such company-owned OTT ventures as UFC Fight Pass.
