Apple® today announced that Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg,
two of television’s most creative and successful executives, are
joining Apple in newly created positions overseeing all aspects of
video programming. Erlicht and Van Amburg will lead video
programming worldwide, reporting to Eddy Cue. They join Apple from
Sony Pictures Television where they have served as presidents since
2005, and have been responsible for some of the most popular and
widely acclaimed programming of the past decade, including
favorites such as Breaking Bad and its spinoff Better Call Saul,
The Crown, Rescue Me and many more.
“Jamie and Zack are two of the most talented TV executives in
the world and have been instrumental in making this the golden age
of television,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of
Internet Software and Services. “We have exciting plans in store
for customers and can’t wait for them to bring their expertise to
Apple — there is much more to come.”
“It will be an honor to be part of the Apple team,” said Jamie
Erlicht. “We want to bring to video what Apple has been so
successful with in their other services and consumer products —
unparalleled quality.”
“Apple has a relentless focus on delighting customers with their
products,” said Zack Van Amburg. “We will bring that same intention
to Apple’s programming and we could not be more excited about what
lies ahead.”
Erlicht and Van Amburg have served as presidents of Sony
Pictures Television since 2005. Under their leadership, the
studio’s slate of original primetime series more than tripled,
growing to include many of TV’s most acclaimed shows. They have
extensive expertise producing television for global audiences and
creating programming for a wide range of services including shows
for Amazon, Hulu and Netflix. Their incredible roster of programs —
which have won 36 Emmys and dozens of Golden Globes, AFI and WGA
awards — have included fan favorites such as Better Call Saul, The
Blacklist, Bloodline, Breaking Bad, The Crown, Damages, The
Goldbergs, Justified, Preacher, Rescue Me, The Shield, Sneaky Pete
and many more.
Apple revolutionized personal technology with the introduction
of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in
innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
Apple’s four software platforms — iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS —
