In the four years since he joined Netflix, Riegg has helped put the streaming giant on the map in the world of reality television with series including “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo,” the “Queer Eye” reboot, early 2020 hit “Love Is Blind,” “Rhythm + Flow” and “Nailed It!” Since taking on comedy specials and docuseries, programs such as “Cheer,” “Last Chance U” and “Chef’s Table” are still making their mark under Riegg’s authority.

His unscripted chops stem from years spent overseeing series such as “The Voice” and “America’s Got Talent” at NBC in addition to developing and producing series for ABC, including “Dancing With the Stars” and “Wife Swap.”
