Apploff Entertainment Promotes for Director of Development Role

Apploff Entertainment has promoted Zach Gelfand to director of development.

Gelfand joined Apploff three years ago and has shepherded projects across the company’s wide portfolio. As a co-executive producer, he is a pivotal force behind Netflix’s newly launched Best Guess Live.

Prior to joining Apploff Entertainment, Gelfand worked in virtual event production, producing and designing live game experiences, and held strategic roles at multiple creative advertising agencies.

“From day one, Zach has demonstrated an exceptional talent identifying what makes a great format tick and stick, evolving it for today’s audiences,” said Jeff Apploff, CEO. “He’s a game changer whose fingerprints are across our slate, and his passion, work ethic and collaborative spirit make him an invaluable part of our future.”
