It has been a great pleasure to work here.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Allen continued:  &ldquo;Just brings a stellar track record of success. With his knowledge, skills and experience, he is in an excellent position to drive the continued success of the business. In his previous responsibilities Just has proven to be world class, continuously outperforming and delivering excellent results. Without the constraints of an onerous capital structure and supported by a new executive team that he will assemble, he is well positioned to pursue further growth.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Spee remarked: &ldquo;I very much look forward to taking on this role at an extremely exciting time for Endemol.  This is an exceptional company with a unique platform and some of the most talented and creative people in the business.  I look forward to establishing a strong executive team that will drive the business forward. This, alongside an agreement in place with lenders that will put the company on a firm financial footing, strongly positions us for a bright future.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Just Spee, who has been serving as chief financial officer at Endemol, is being elevated to CEO, following the departure of Marco Bassetti.&nbsp; Bassetti joined Endemol in 1997, when the Italian production outfit Aran was acquired by the group.
