Nadine Grünfeld Tapped as MD at Brainpool

Nadine Grünfeld is returning to the Brainpool management team in September 2025 as managing director.

At Brainpool, Grünfeld will focus on expanding the show unit to create new entertainment brands, complementing the Brainpool management team led by Godehard Wolpers and Florian Göbels.

Grünfeld previously worked at Banijay Germany from 2017 to 2022, initially as executive producer and later as executive director at EndemolShine Germany. She was responsible for well-known format brands such as The Masked Singer, LEGO Masters, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and the reboot of Beauty & The Nerd.

Grünfeld joins from the production company Cheerio, which she founded and developed in 2022 as managing director within the ProSiebenSat.1 Group.

“In addition to strong entertainment and show expertise, Nadine brings a healthy dose of creative flair paired with passion and a true can-do mentality,” said Marcus Wolter, CEO and co-founder of Banijay Germany. “I am delighted to be working with her and the two managing directors, Godehard Wolpers and Florian Göbels, to further expand Brainpool TV.”

“The last three and a half years have been wonderfully exciting and educational,” added Grünfeld. “Now I’m looking forward to working alongside Marcus, Florian and Godehard to bring Brainpool forward with fresh momentum. We need more laughter again! And that’s another reason I’m here.”
