He now takes on day-to-day control of the YouTube network, with a mandate to grow the business. Just last month, Kreiz sold his Israeli indie Kuperman Productions to Endemol. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Maker Studios manages more than 10,000 YouTube channels. It has more than 165 million subscribers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Zappin said of his decision: &quot;As we now prepare to move into the next phase of growth for Maker Studios, I felt it was the right time to make a significant transition.   As the former CEO and chairman of Endemol, the world&#8217;s largest independent production company, and as the co-founder and CEO of Fox Kids, Ynon has the specific media exec experience that we need to take Maker to the next level&#8230;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">&quot;While I won&rsquo;t be responsible for day to day operations, I will remain on the board of directors and will serve in an advisor role to Ynon and the company. I will work very closely with Ynon during this transition phase to make sure everything goes smoothly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">&quot;I love this company and all of you.  I&rsquo;ve always been committed to do what I feel is best for the company and that will never change.   This transition is what is best for the company right now.  I am confident in my decision.  I&rsquo;m very fortunate to have had the experience of being the CEO of Maker Studios.  I also feel lucky to now have the opportunity to hand over the keys to Ynon after a proper amount of time to build a solid relationship, trust and mutual respect. I feel fortunate to have Ynon join the team.   I&rsquo;m very excited about the future of Maker Studios.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES: Danny Zappin, the CEO and co-founder of Maker Studios, a provider of multichannel networks on YouTube, is stepping down, to be replaced by former Endemol CEO&nbsp;Ynon Kreiz.
