Langenberg has played a key role in setting up Endemol affiliates in Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia and helped establish global formats in the region including Big Brother in Brazil and Mexico, as well as Wipeout, Deal or No Deal and OperaciónTriunfo. She also secured Endemol’s first ever deals in India with Fear Factor, Big Brother and Strictly Dancing. These deals led to the development of company’s Indian operation. In 2004 Langenberg was promoted to senior licensing manager. Langenberg takes up the role of head of format distribution with immediate effect. She is based in Endemol’s offices in the Netherlands, working within chief creative officer Paul Römer’s team, and reporting to executive director creative production support, Iris Boelhouwer.
